Safety

Suspension

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into

account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the

responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance

with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly

recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations

require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken

immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable

of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker

not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

Redundant safety point

As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to

the building structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as

possible (less than 1-inch is preferable).

Installation and wiring

Installing the speaker

For safety, ensure the mounting surface supports more than the weight of the speaker. Use

only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the U-Bracket.

Consult an expert if you are unsure.

Caution!

It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use the proper mounting hardware for

the wall construction type.

Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may

occur.

Installing the U-Bracket

To install the U-Bracket, do the following:

1. Draw a level line.

2. Align screw holes on the level line.

3. Install two mounting screws to secure the U-Bracket to the wall.

Installing the speaker

To install the speaker, do the following:

1. Wire the speaker, as shown in the wiring section.
