Use redundant suspension systems
Always use a minimum of 2 suspension cables ( or chains and make sure one is secured to each eyebolt g_ruha top af Iha5pfaker (A and B). Using two cables, minimum, and securing one to each eyebolt provides backup suspension should one cable connection fail. Use redundant cable clamps on each cable and strip back any cable cladding in the area of the clamp. -
Ensure capacity of suspension cables, chains, and anchor points
Make sure the cables, chains, and any associated hardware have a working load rating for AT LEAST 10 TIMES the speaker weight. Make sure the structural anchor points for the cables or chains have a working load rating for AT LEAST 10 TIMES the speaker load as well. -
Ensure proper cable pull direction
The proper cable pull direction is IN-LINE with the loop of the eyebolt.
The load capacity of the eyebolt decreases rapidly as the pull direction moves closer to being 90-degrees to the loop. This is why it is very important to align the eyebolts as shown in Section 2.
NOTE: If you are using 2 cables on one eyebolt to form a “V”, a 90-degree pull direction is OK since the 2 cables cancel out the 90-degree forces on the eyebolt. You must still connect a backup cable (for a total of
- to the other eyebolt on the speaker.
- Double-check that all hardware is properly tightened.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for tightening (over-tightening can be dangerous).
