Important Safety Considerations
meyer-blue-rule-line.png

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 reliability of any rigging or mounting 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 are tightened securely. Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite® on bolt threads and safety cables.

  • Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Immediately replace any worn or damaged components.

Caution

When mounting HMS loudspeakers in soffits, allow at least 3 inches above the loudspeaker for the bracket to slide into place. The extra space is also required for ventilation for the loudspeaker’s amplifier and heat sink.

Note

When mounting HMS loudspeakers in soffits, allow sufficient space around the loudspeaker so its coverage pattern is unobstructed by the walls of the soffit.
