CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING

The JM-1P loudspeaker is compatible with Meyer Sound’s
QuickFly system, a comprehensive collection of custom-
designed rigging, flying, and mounting options. Comprised
of rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure components,
QuickFly lets you deploy JM-1P loudspeakers as arrays at
precise angles to take full advantage of their directional
components. The top and bottom plates for the JM-1P cab-
inets are constructed of heavy-duty, high-strength, corro-
sion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum and include threaded
metric holes (for M10 screws) for easy connection to Quick-
Fly rigging and third-party mounting options.

Important Safety Considerations!

When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:

„

All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.

„

Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.

„

Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.

„

Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
where the loudspeaker will be installed.

„

Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite

®

on eyebolt

threads and safety cables.

„

Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.

THE JM-1P GUIDEALINKS

The JM-1P is equipped with GuideALinks on its four right cor-
ners that attach to an adjacent JM-1P with the links inserted
in the left corner slots of the linked unit. GuideALinks are
extended and retracted with front and rear knobs. The links
are secured to the linked JM-1P with the quick-release pins
included with each loudspeaker. GuideALinks are also used
when flying JM-1Ps from the MTG-JM1 vertical grid.

CAUTION:

When moving and linking JM-1Ps,

avoid placing fingers between the units to pre-

vent injury.
