Yorkville NX Flyware

Manual-Owners-NXF35U-00-2v2.pdf

All Yorkville NX speaker enclosures are equipped with flying hardware. To increase
the options, several hardware kits have been developed to expand the NX enclo­sure’s capabilities for overhead suspension applications. Flying the enclosures in dif­ferent angles, attaching to walls and even setting up arrays are now possible to do
easily and, most importantly, safely.

IMPORTANT!! The rigging of loudspeaker systems is an extremely serious matter. Overhead rig­ging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits,
hardware installation, and periodic safety inspections of all hardware and cabinetry. If you lack these
qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury or death. Consult a structural engineer to calculate
added loads for a building. Structural reinforcement may be necessary to insure a safe installation.

The NXF35U Bracket

The NXF35U System

The NXF35U kit allows enclosures to be mounted in more ways than
standard shackle and cables allow. By using the NXF35U bracket, the
multiple fly-point options allow the rig to be flown at different angles. The
bracket also helps secure the NX enclosure to the truss or roofing sys­tems. The NXF35U is easily mounted strategically to the top and bottom
of the enclosure. Additionally, the NX enclosure can be rotated up to 30­degrees across the horizontal plane (within the bracket housing).

NXF35W Wall Mounting (optional)

The optional NXF35W has been designed to add more capability and
versatility for wall mounting applications. The NXF35U attaches to the
NXF35W wall-mount bracket enabling vertical angles of up to 30-degrees.

NXF35A Flying Arrays
(optional)

When using multiple enclosures, the optional

The NXF35A Array Link

Assembly Kit

NXF35A Array Adapter connects NXF35U
brackets together to form perfect 60-degree

spacing. The NXF35A joins the NXF35U U­brackets together safely and securely which makes it fairly simple to
install for flying two or three enclosures (up to six) in the circular arrays.

Note: the NXF35A Array Link Adapters cannot be used with the NXF35W
Wall-Mount Kit.

Attaching the NXF35U

Use 7/16-inch wrench

Bracket to NX Enclosures

Mount the NXF35U bracket onto the NX enclosure prior
to flying or mounting.

Step 1 – Installing the Bottom
Enclosure Adapter Plate

First, remove the rear rubber foot (figure 1), be sure
to re-insert the bolt to plug hole to prevent air-leak.
Remove the enclosure’s bottom four stand adapter
bolts (figure 1). Do not remove the Stand Adapter.
Position the bottom Enclosure Adapter Plate on the
Stand adapter (as shown in figure 2). Use the four
¼-20 x ¾-inch bolts (with ¼-inch lockwashers) pro­vided to mount the bottom Enclosure Adapter Plate
to the enclosure (on top of the Stand Adapter).

Note: a 7/16-inch wrench will be needed.

Step 2 – Installing the Top
Enclosure Adapter Plate

On the top of the NX enclosure, position the top
Enclosure Adapter Plate (as shown in figure 3), and
use two of the bolts (provided with the kit) to mount the
plate on the enclosure.

Step 3 – Mounting the Enclosure to
the Steel U-Bracket

With the NX enclosure on its side, mount the Steel
U-Bracket as shown in the figure 4a and 4b. Align the
holes on the bracket with the corresponding holes on
the NX enclosure as shown (the top uses a single bolt
to mount the Steel U-Bracket and the bottom uses two).

Step 4 – Assembly complete

Tighten all bolts mounting the bracket to the NX enclo­sure appropriately before flying.

Using the NXF35W
Wall-Mount Bracket

The NXF35U Bracket must be installed on the NX enclo­sure to use the NXF35W Wall-Mount Bracket.

Step 1 – Choose a Location

Locate the appropriate place where the NX enclosure
will be mounted. Mounting should be to a secure surface
such as wall joists or pillars that can handle the load.

Do not attempt to install the enclosure to the wall alone and always
follow safety rules. Do not mount onto a surface that's not secure!

Step 2 – Mount Wall-Mount Bracket

It’s best to mount the NXF35W Wall-Mount bracket
to the secure surface prior to attaching the NX enclo­sure (equipped with the NXF35U bracket). Once the
NXF35W Wall-Mount bracket is secured – to a proper
secure surface – proceed to mount the NX enclosure
(equipped with the NXF35U bracket).

Step 3 – Angle Stand-Off Rails

If required, install the Angle Rails to the Wall-Mount
Bracket using the bolts provided.

Step 4 – Mounting the NX Enclosure

i. Place the NX Enclosure equipped with the NXF35U
bracket into the Wall-Mount Assembly. Install the bottom
two nuts and bolts first (see diagram). Do not fully tighten
the bolts until the top bolts are in place and the cabinet
has been properly positioned.

ii. Install the top 2 nuts and bolts of the NXF35U
brackets to the NXF35W Wall-Mount brackets at the
appropriate angle using the Angle Stand-Off Rails if
needed. (see diagram)

(In stallation to the NXF35W Wal l-Mount bracket can be made
wit hout the angl e stand-offs, if a dow nward angled position
is not required. )
