Permanent Installation
The dB500 is logical solution for many
fixed installations in live sound venues,
discos, schools, houses of worship, con-
vention centers and airport terminals to
name a few. The enclosure is extremely
versatile for installation as it can be hung
in several different positions by using the
10 Fly-points. Hanging the dB500 is seri-
ous business and therefore licensed and
insured professional sound contractors
only should perform such an installation.

sound contractors should install the
dB500 using the Fly-points. Samson

handles you will have access to the
threaded inserts that are compatible
