Rigging and Safety Procedures

The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick,
simple, cost effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional
loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety

load factor for its specic role. To ensure the safest possible use of the hardware covered
in this guide, it must be assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specied. The

information in these Operation Manuals relating to the assembly and the safe use of these
accessories must be understood and followed.

The installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers - using the dedicated hardware - should

carried out only by fully qualied installers, in accordance with all the required safety codes

and standards that apply at the place of installation. WARNING: As the legal requirements for

mounting, suspending, hanging, ying or rigging equipment change from country to country,
please consult your local safety standards ofce before installing any product. We also

recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to installation.

Tannoy Professional hardware has been designed for use with specic Tannoy Professional

loudspeakers, and is not designed or intended for use with any other Tannoy Professional
products, or any other devices. Using Tannoy Professional hardware for any purpose other
than that indicated in this guide is considered to be improper use. Such use can be very
dangerous: overloading, modifying, damaging, or assembling in a manner other than that
clearly stated in the Operation will compromise safety. The component parts of any Tannoy
Professional hardware device must only be assembled using the accessory kits supplied and
in strict compliance with the Operation Manual. The use of other accessories or non-approved
methods of assembly may result in an unsafe hardware system by reducing the load safety

factor. Welding, or any other method of permanently xing hardware components together or to
the integral xing points in the cabinet, should never be used.

Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is xed to a surface using a Tannoy Professional

hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and securely
supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely, and securely attached both to
the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question, in accordance with the Operation Manual,

using only the xing holes provided as standard and covered in the manual. Secure xings

to the building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other

specialists if in any doubt. All loudspeakers own in theatres, nightclubs, conference centres

or other places of work and entertainment must be provided with an independent, correctly
rated and securely attached secondary safety restraint in addition to the principal hardware
device. This secondary safety restraint must prevent the loudspeaker from dropping more
than 150 mm (6”) should the principal hardware device fail.
