Flying & Lifting / Rigging
A versatile set of rigging parts has been designed for NuQ Series enclosures in order to
give the portable user and installer a cost effective approach to flying and mounting,
ranging from a single enclosure up to small arrays.
All riggable products are fitted with metric internal fixings. It is expected that external
parts such as eyebolts, flying bridles, scaffold clamps, safety chains etc. will be obtained
locally from the usual suppliers and used with the parts available from Turbosound. Note
that only collared eyebolts can be used for lifting; please refer to British Standard BS4278
for further information.
Any installation, whether temporary or permanent, must be securely attached to the
structure of the building using chain, steel wires or web straps which are certified and
load rated for the purpose. The combined weight of the sound system, its cables and the
rigging system must be safely carried by the points at which attachment is made to the
building or structure. Great care must be taken in selecting the attachment points and
methods, being absolutely sure of the load carrying capacity of points chosen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The rigging of loudspeaker systems is an extremely serious matter
with potentially lethal consequences should anything go wrong. It is of vital importance
that you, or other people rigging the system, are suitably qualified to do so and have a
full understanding of all the factors involved with safety as a number one priority.
Turbosound accepts no responsibility for any accident, damage or failure of any rigged
system. This rigging information is specifically related to the requirements of the NuQ
Series products only. For more detailed information on the whole topic of rigging various
handbooks are available. If you are in any doubt contact your Turbosound dealer who
will be able to refer you to an experienced rigging company.
