Yorkville NX Flyware

Manual-Owners-NXF600U-00-2v0.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 NXF600U System

The NXF600U kit allows enclosures to be mounted in more ways than
standard shackle and cables allow. By using the NXF600U 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 NXF600U is easily mounted strategically to the top and bot­tom of the enclosure. Additionally, the NX enclosure can be rotated up
to 30-degrees across the horizontal plane (within the bracket housing).

NXF600W Wall Mounting (optional)

The optional NXF600W has been designed to add more capability and
versatility for wall mounting applications. The NXF600U attaches to
the NXF600W wall-mount bracket enabling vertical angles of up to 30-

degrees.

NXF600A Flying Arrays
(optional)

The NXF6000A Array

Link Assembly Kit

When using multiple enclosures, the optional
NXF600A Array Adapter connects NXF600U

brackets together to form perfect 60-degree
spacing. The NXF600A joins the NXF600U U-brackets 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 NXF600A Array Link Adapters cannot be used with the NXF600W
Wall-Mount Kit.

NXF600W – Wall-Mounting Bracket (for mounting the NXF600U
bracket to wall or pillar).

NXF600A – Array Adapter (to properly array and space out multiple
NXF600U Flying assemblies)

An ideal cluster array is easily assembled using three NXF600U U­brackets kits, and two NXF600A kits (shackles and cables not included).

Note: all necessary nuts and bolts are included with kits

30-degrees horizontal

rotation allows NX enclo-

sures to be mounted

along walls of venues.

Attaching the NXF600U
Bracket to NX Enclosures

Mount the NXF600U bracket onto the NX enclosure prior
to flying or mounting.

Step 1 – Installing the Bottom
Enclosure Adapter Plate

Remove the enclosure’s bottom four stand
adapter bolts. Do not remove the Stand
Adapter and be sure to save the bolts,
they will be needed to mount the bottom
Enclosure Adapter Plate. Position the bot­tom Enclosure Adapter Plate on the Stand
adapter (as shown in diagram). Use the bolts,
previously used to mount the Stand Adapter,
and mount the bottom Enclosure Adapter Plate
to the enclosure (on top of the Stand Adapter).

Step 2 – Installing the Top
Enclosure Adapter Plate

On the top of the NX enclosure, remove the 2 hex
bolts. Position the top Enclosure Adapter Plate as
shown in diagram, 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 diagram. Align the holes
on the bracket with the corresponding holes on the
NX enclosure (the top uses a single bolt to mount the
Steel U-Bracket and the bottom uses two). Do not
tighten the bolts until the complete bracket is in place.

Using the NXF600W
Wall-Mount Bracket

NXF600W with Angle

Stand-Offs Attached

The NXF600U Bracket must be installed on the NX enclo­sure to use the NXF600W 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 NXF600W Wall-Mount bracket
to the secure surface prior to attaching the NX enclo­sure (equipped with the NXF600U bracket). Once the
NXF600W Wall-Mount bracket is secured – to a proper
secure surface – proceed to mount the NX enclosure
(equipped with the NXF600U 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 NXF600U
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
NXF600U brackets to the NXF600W
Wall-Mount brackets at the appropriate
angle using the Angle Stand-Off Rails if
needed. (see diagram)

(In stallation to the NXF600W Wa ll-Mount
bracket can be made without the angle stand­off s, if a downward angled position is n ot
req uired.)

Mount the assembly to the bot-

tom first for stability
