Suspending with Eyebolts
TPZ cabinets can be suspended using optional eyebolts coupled to the
internal rigging points provided on the top, bottom and sides and back.
The simplest method is to use the two rigging points on the top and a
single pull-back rigging point in the centre of the rear panel.
Remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them with
shoulder eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 18 mm.
Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room
coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system
may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualifi ed personnel with the
required experience and certifi cation to perform the necessary tasks.
Walls, fl oors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting
accessory used must be safely and securely fi xed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, fl oor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, fl oors or ceilings, ensure that all fi xings and fasteners
used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and
composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a
particular fi xing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist
fi xings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fi tted and used in accordance with the
maker’s instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a fl own system, if installed incorrectly and improperly,
can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and even death. In addition, please ensure that
electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualifi ed and certifi ed (by local state
or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or fl ying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and fl own by qualifi ed and certifi ed personnel only,
using dedicated equipment and original parts and components delivered with the unit. If any parts or
components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Group,
including the MUSIC Group companies listed on the enclosed “Service Information Sheet”, assumes no
liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the
product. Regular checks must be conducted by qualifi ed personnel to ensure that the system remains in a
secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is fl own, the area underneath the speaker is
free of human traffi c. Do not fl y the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic fi eld, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can
be affected by such fi elds (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually
between 1 and 2 metres.
Assembly Instructions
1. Set the 3 speakers on the ground side-by-side facing the same direction.
2. Place the larger bracket (top plate) on top of the speakers and align them
according to the desired array angle.
3. Place the spring washers over the 6 holes in the bracket where bolts will
be attached.
4. Screw M10 fl at bolts into the 2 inner holes fi rst, then the 2 outer holes.
5. Screw M10 eyebolts into the remaining 2 holes. These will be used to
suspend the cluster.
6. Tip the cluster backwards so that the speakers are facing directly upward.
This will allow the bottom of the speakers to be accessed.
7. Hold the smaller bracket (bottom plate) up to the speakers so that the
holes align with the threaded inserts. Place fl at washers over 4 fl at bolts
and screw them in one at a time.
8. Return the speakers to their upright position. Additional eyebolts can be attached to the top of the
speakers for additional support.
9. Screw either one eyebolt into the back of the middle speaker, or screw an eyebolt into the back of each
of the outer speakers as a pull-back to allow the vertical angle to be adjusted.
