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
specifi ed 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
modifi ed 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 qualifi ed personnel only, and then
only at pick-points with suffi cient load-carrying capacity and in compliance
with local building regulations. Use only the mounting hardware specifi ed
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
Version 1.0 10/2023
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.
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 fl oor 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 fi xtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured.
The operator of loudspeaker systems (fi xed 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.
Also be sure to provide suffi cient safety margins for the rigging points used
for fl own systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.
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).
