XI 8P™ Rigging and Mounting Options
Speaker Rigging Hardware – The PXI 8P™ 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 PXI 8P
.™ 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 availability.
Rigging Points – The PXI 8P™ 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 PXI 8P™ 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.
