QuickFly Rigging
The UP-4slim loudspeaker is compatible with Meyer Sound’s QuickFly system comprised of rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure components. QuickFly allows the user to deploy UP-4slim loudspeakers in virtually any configuration.
Important Safety Considerations
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers and subwoofers, 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 mounting and rigging method for their application. Mounting and 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. Immediately replace any worn or damaged components.
Rigging Points
The top and bottom plates for the UP-4slim cabinet are constructed from aluminum and include threaded metric holes (for M8 screws) for easy connection to QuickFly rigging and third-party mounting options.

Pole-mounting a UP-4slim
It is possible to mount the UP-4slim on a 1-3/8-inch (35 mm) diameter loudspeaker stand or pole using the optional PAS-M8 (PN 40.010.975.01), as shown in the figure below.

The PAS-M8 Adapter has an M8 threaded end that screws directly into the center M8 rigging point on the bottom of the UP-4slim loudspeaker. The other end slips onto a 35 mm pole and is secured with the adapter knob.
Caution
When mounting the UP-4slim on a pole, ensure the pole has been rated to support the full weight of the loudspeaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the pole manufacturer.
The UP-4slim may be mounted on top of an MM-10 or UMS subwoofer using the MPK-POLE-35MM-M20 Adjustable Pole Mount Kit.
The kit includes a 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 in (35-38 mm) adapter to use with the built-in 1-1/2 in pole mount integrated with the UMS subwoofer.
