Rigging Design Practices
Riggingaloudspeakerrequiresdetermining:
1.Theriggingmethodsandhardwarethatmeetstatic,
shock,dynamic,andanyotherloadrequirementsfor
supportingtheloudspeakerfromstructure.
2.ThedesignfactorandrequiredWLL(WorkingLoad
Limit)forthissupport.
Westronglyrecommendthefollowingriggingpractices:
1.Documentation:Thoroughlydocumentthedesign
withdetaileddrawingsandpartslists.
2.Analysis:Haveaqualiedprofessional,suchasa
licensedProfessionalEngineer,reviewandapprovethe
designbeforeitsimplementation.
3.Installation:Haveaqualiedprofessionalriggerdo
theinstallationandinspection.
4.Safety:Useadequatesafetyprecautionsand
back-upsystems.
Rigging Hardware and Accessories
Riggingourloudspeakerswillinvariablyrequire

load-ratedhardwareareavailablefromavariety
ofthird-partysources.Thereareanumberofsuch
companiesspecializinginmanufacturinghardware
for,designing,andinstallingriggingsystems.Each

Rigging Notes
TheSRMloudspeaker’sintegralmountingpoints
aredesignedtosupportonlytheweightoftheirown
loudspeakerwithsuitable,externalhardware.This
meansthateachSRMloudspeakermustbesupported
independentlyofanyotherSRMloudspeakerandany
otherloads.Atleastthreeriggingpointsmustbeused
tohanganSRMloudspeaker.
