QuickFly Rigging
The USW-112XP loudspeaker is compatible with MeyerSound’s QuickFly system, a comprehensive collection of custom-designed rigging, flying, and mounting options. Comprised of rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure components, QuickFly enables deploying of USW-112XP loudspeakers at precise angles.
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 reliability 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 including the rigging components.
Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface where the loudspeaker will be installed.
Make sure bolts and eye bolts are tightened securely. Meyer Sound recommends using medium-strength blue thread locker on eye bolt threads and safety cables.
Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Immediately replace any worn or damaged components.
Caution
When pole-mounting an ULTRA-X20XP onto a USW-112XP, to keep it stable, do not lift the ULTRA-X20XP higher than 44 inches from the top of the USW-112XP. This limit is due to the small footprint and light weight of the USW-112XP.
