System Overview
The flying system for the HALO system has been specifically designed to be flexible,
intuitive and reliable. Please read this section of the user manual extremely carefully
as the rigging of loudspeakers is a very serious matter with potentially fatal consequences
should anything go wrong. If you are in ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER, contact a
reputable rigging company or your local EM Acoustics representative.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The HALO rigging system has been designed and constructed to a very high standard of
safety, and tested to demanding specifications. To ensure the highest standards of safety,
the following information on array assembly must be exactly followed and understood.
Only use EM Acoustics recommended rigging hardware and accessories, which are
specifically designed for the purpose. Do not use HALO flying hardware for any other
loudspeaker system – the components are specifically designed to work with the HALO
system and are not interchangeable with any other EM Acoustics loudspeaker product or
any other loudspeaker system. The use of HALO flying hardware with other
manufacturers‟ systems may compromise the safety standards and EM Acoustics, and its
parent company, are in no way liable for any loss, damage or injury caused by such
practice.
Do not modify or alter the HALO hardware or accessories, nor use them in any way other
than that described in this manual. Rigging components supplied as part of the HALO
system are in no way interchangeable and should not be used as such.
The component parts of the HALO rigging assembly should only be assembled in the
manner described in this manual, using the fasteners and fixings stated herein. The use
of fasteners and methods of assembly not described in this manual may result in an
unsafe assembly and as such EM Acoustics will not be responsible for any loss, damage or
injury caused by such practice. Welding, drilling or any other means of modifying any part
of the flying hardware or permanently fixing components to each other is strictly
forbidden.
Rigging assemblies must only be assembled using the appropriate parts and fixings as
described in this manual, explicitly following the assembly instructions given herein.
Rigging components must only be fixed to EM Acoustics HALO loudspeaker systems, using
the correct cabinet location points, assembly methods and fasteners specifically described
