General Notes on Safety for Loudspeaker
Systems
Mounting systems may only be used for those loudspeaker
systems authorized by the manufacturer and only with the
mounting accessories specified by the manufacturer in the
installation instructions. Read and heed the manufacturer's
installation instructions. The indicated load-bearing capacity
cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for
damages in the event of improper installation or the use of
unauthorized mounting accessories.
The system's load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and
the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event
that loudspeakers, mounting accessories, and connecting and
attaching components are modified in any way.
Components affecting safety may only be repaired by the
manufacturer or authorized agents, otherwise the operating
permit will be voided.
Installation may be performed qualified personnel only, and
then only at pick-points with sufficient load-carrying capacity and
in compliance with local building regulations. Use only the
mounting hardware specified by the manufacturer in the
installation instructions (screws, anchors, etc.). Take all the
precautions necessary to ensure bolted connections and other
threaded locking devices will not loosen.
Fixed and portable installations (in this case, speakers and
mounting accessories) must be secured by two independent
safeties to prevent them from falling. Safeties must be able to
catch accessories or parts that are loose or may become loose.
Ensure compliance with the given national regulations when
using connecting, attaching, and rigging devices. Factor potential
dynamic forces (jerk) into the equation when determining the
proper size and load-bearing capacity of safeties.
Version 2.3 05/2013
Be sure to observe speaker stands' maximum load-bearing
capacity. Note that for reasons of design and construction, most
speaker stands are approved to bear centric loads only; that is,
the speakers' mass has to be precisely centered and balanced.
Ensure speaker stands are set up stably and securely. Take
appropriate added measures to secure speaker stands, for
example when:
- the floor or ground surface does not provide a stable, secure
base.
- they are extended to heights that impede stability.
- high wind pressure may be expected.
- there is the risk that they may be knocked over by people.
Special measures may become necessary as precautions against
unsafe audience behavior. Do not set up speaker stands in
evacuation routes and emergency exits. Ensure corridors are
wide enough and put proper barriers and markings in place
when setting speaker stands up in passageways. Mounting and
dismounting are especially hazardous tasks. Use aids suitable
for this purpose. Observe the given national regulations when
doing so.
Wear proper protection (in particular, a helmet, gloves, and
safety shoes) and use only suitable means of ascent (ladders,
scaffolds, etc.) during installation. Compliance with this
requirement is the sole responsibility of the company performing
the installation.
WARNING!
After installation, inspect the system comprised of the mounting
fixtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured.
The operator of loudspeaker systems (fixed or portable) must
regularly inspect or task a third party to regularly inspect all
system components in accordance with the given country's
regulations and have possible defects repaired immediately.
We also strongly recommend maintaining a logbook or the like to
document all inspections.
When installing speakers for longer lasting or permanent outdoor
operation, be sure to take into account the stability and load-
bearing capacity of platforms and surfaces; loads and forces
exerted by wind, snow, and ice; as well as thermal influences.
Also be sure to provide sufficient safety margins for the rigging
points used for flown systems. Observe the given national
regulations when doing so.
• Ask the manufacturer if your product is allowed for outdoor
usage !
Professional loudspeaker systems can produce harmful
volume levels. Even prolonged exposure to seemingly harmless
levels (starting at about 95 dBA SPL) can cause permanent
hearing damage! Therefore we recommend that everyone who is
exposed to high volume levels produced by loudspeaker systems
wears professional hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs).
