To suspend the JBL Professional AC15 Ultra Compact 2-Way Loudspeaker, it is important to follow proper rigging procedures for safety. Here are the steps to suspend the loudspeaker:
1. Obtain load-rated hardware: Use load-rated hardware specifically designed for overhead suspension. This hardware should comply with ASME B30.20 and have a working load limit (WLL) and a traceability code.
2. Consult with a licensed Professional Engineer: Before installing any overhead object, such as the loudspeaker, it is important to have a licensed Professional Engineer approve the placement and method of attachment to the structure. Provide the engineer with the relevant performance standards, such as the Uniform Building Code, Municipal Building Code, and Seismic Code.
3. Inspect and maintain the suspension system: Regularly inspect and maintain the suspension system to ensure proper functionality. Inspect the loudspeaker enclosure, rigging frames, pins, eyebolts, and other components for any signs of damage, corrosion, or deformations. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for inspection and maintenance.
4. Use load-rated hardware for suspension: When suspending the JBL AC15 loudspeaker, use load-rated hardware that is specifically designed for Application Engineered Series and Precision Directivity Series loudspeakers. JBL recommends using threaded M10 shouldered eyebolts (part #229-00009-01) for suspending the AE and PD Series enclosures.
5. Follow safe rigging standards: Always suspend the loudspeaker system following safe rigging standards. It is recommended to have qualified persons with experience in suspending loudspeaker systems perform the rigging. Prior to suspending the system, an expert should inspect all rigging parts and components.
Please note that the above information is a general guideline and it is important to refer to the JBL Professional AC15 Ultra Compact 2-Way Loudspeaker User Manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
