Mounting Guidelines
WARNING:
The Panaray
®
LT Series III loudspeakers must be attached to brackets or other mounting surfaces for
permanent or seasonal use. Such mountings, typically in overhead locations, involve risk of personal injury if either
the mounting system or the loudspeaker attachment fails. Installation of the mounting system must be performed in
accordance with all applicable building codes including local codes. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction
before installing this product.
The LT loudspeaker installation requires the use of either Bose
®
or non-Bose mounting products. While Bose Corporation
cannot be held responsible for the proper design and use of non-Bose mounting systems, we offer the following informa-
tion and guidelines for the permanent installation of your Panaray LT loudspeakers:
•Obtain your mounting system from a reputable manufacturer. Select a system design that works for your
loudspeaker of choice and its intended use.
•Before using a custom-designed mounting system, have a licensed professional engineer review the design and
fabrication for structural integrity and safety in the intended application.
• The threaded attachment points on the top, bottom, and sides of each loudspeaker have an SAE
3
/
8
-16" thread with
at least 18 usable threads.
• Lock washers or a locking compound intended for hand disassembly (such as Loctite 242) should be used for a
vibration resistant assembly.
•Use a safety cable, separately attached to the cabinet, at a point not in common with the load bearing attachment
points of the mounting system to the loudspeaker. This is recommended even if not required by local regulation. If
you are unfamiliar with the proper design, use, and purpose of a safety cable, consult a licensed professional engi-
neer or a rigging professional.
• Additional loudspeakers may be suspended below the Panaray LT loudspeaker provided that:
• It employs all 8 threaded-insert hang points on the top and bottom to fly and suspend the loudspeakers.
• The total weight of suspended loudspeakers and the Panaray LT loudspeaker does not exceed the working
load limit (WLL) listed below:
CAUTION:
Use only graded hardware. Fasteners should be SAE Grade 5 or ASTM designation A354, Grade BC
minimum. Unmarked machine fasteners should not be used for mounting system assembly, as there is no way to
determine their physical properties. Do not use an M10 fastener; although it is very similar to an SAE
3
/
8
-16’’, they
are not interchangeable. M10 washers may be used in place of
3
/
8
’’ washers.
CAUTION:
The fasteners should be tightened
using torque not to exceed 50 pounds/inch (5.6 Newton-
meters).
Over-tightening the fastener could result in irreparable damage to the cabinet and create an unsafe
assembly.
CAUTION:
The fastener should be long enough to engage
no fewer than 16 threads of the attachment point.
Using a fastener that is too short provides inadequate holding power and may strip the mounting threads, resulting
in an unsafe assembly. Confirm that at least 16 full threads are engaged in your assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to alter the threaded attachment points. Do not attempt to re-thread the attachment
points to accommodate any other thread size or type; doing so will compromise the safety of the installation while
permanently damaging the loudspeaker.
