Installation Precautions
This document details general mounting practices appropriate to the
entertainment industry, as they would apply to the mounting of Electro-
Voice Sx600 loudspeaker systems. It is intended to familiarize the reader
with mounting hardware and techniques for suspending Sx600 loud-
speaker systems overhead. Only persons with the knowledge of proper
hardware and safe mounting techniques should attempt to suspend any
sound systems overhead. Prior to suspending any Electro-Voice Sx600
loudspeaker systems overhead, it is essential that the user be familiar
with the strength ratings, mounting techniques and special safety consid-
erations outlined in this manual. The mounting techniques and practices
recommended in this manual are, of necessity, in general terms to
accommodate the many variations in mounting configurations. As such,
the user is expressly responsible for the safety of all specific Sx600
loudspeaker mounting configurations as implemented in practice.
The Sx600 SuperSAM TM Mounting System is intented to support the
Sx600 Speaker System only. Do not use it for any other purpose. Never
