SP-A Series Rigging and Mounting Options
Speaker Rigging Hardware – The XSP-A Series speakers may be permanently installed or
mounted using any of the many available third party wall brackets and ceiling mounts available.
Always be sure to follow all safety instructions and guidelines included with the mounting hardware
for safe and proper installation. American Audio® carries an assortment of rigging hardware specially
designed to work with the XSP-A Series. The Z-APX/B is a heavy-duty bolt and may be used to secure
the speaker to a cable or chain. The Z-APX/H is a heavy-duty eyebolt and is used to suspend or
secure the speaker using safety cables. Please contact your dealer for more information and avail-
ability.
Rigging Points – The XSP-A Series speakers include four rigging
points. These points are detailed on page six. The rigging points are
used to “fly” or suspend the speaker in the air by some means.
Pole Mounting – The XSP-A Series also include a pole mount option.
The pole mount socket located on the bottom of the speaker may be
used to secure the speaker to a speaker tri-pod, such as the American
Audio® SPS-1B as illustrated on the left. Always be sure to follow the
guidelines listed below when pole mounting your speaker;
• Always be sure the stand is designed to support the weight of
the speaker
• In outdoor situations that are prone to windy conditions and
strong wind gust, be sure to use sandbags as additional tri-pod
support, this will greatly reduce the risk of tipping
• Do not stack speakers on top of each other when mounting on
a tri-pod. Only one speaker should be mounted to a tri-pod at one
time.
• Always position the tri-pod legs away from foot traffic
• Extend the tri-pod legs to their fully extended position to avoid
accidental tipping
• Observe and follow all safety guidelines and regulations specified
by the tri-pod’s manufacturer
• Be sure the tri-pod is situated on a flat, level, and stable surface
• Always tighten all tri-pod locks
Pole Mount Locking Screw – This screw is located on the rear of
the speaker and is attached to the pole mount socket. Always use this
screw to secure the speaker in place when mounting this speaker in a
pole mount configuration. Always be sure to tighten down on this screw
to prevent the speaker from shifting directions during use.
