Installing the AcousticPerformance Loudspeakers

Suspending the AP Loudspeakers

WARNING!: Read and follow these instructions carefully. If the loudspeakers are not suspended properly, they could fall, causing personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Rules for Suspension

• Consult a Professional Mechanical or Structural Engineer, licensed in the jurisdiction of the sound system installation, to review, verify, and approve all attachments to the building or structure.
• Employ the services of a Professional Rigger for hoisting, positioning, and attaching the equipment to the supporting structure.
• Correct use of all suspension hardware and components is imperative in sound system suspension and deployment.
  • Always calculate suspended loads before lifting to make sure suspension components and hardware are used within their respective load limits.
• Consult local codes and regulations to fully understand the requirements for suspended loads in the venue in which you will suspend the equipment.
• Use only the recommended yoke or the M10 installation points with the M10 installation kit for suspending the loudspeaker.
• Be absolutely certain of the integrity of any structural member intended to support suspended loads. Hidden structural members can have hidden structural weakness.
• Never assume anything! Owner or third-party supplied suspension attachment points may not be adequate for suspending the loads.
• Before lifting, always inspect all components (enclosures, suspension brackets, pins, frames, bolts, nuts, slings, shackles, etc.) for cracks, wear, deformation, corrosion, missing, loose, or damaged parts that could reduce the strength of the assembly. Discard any worn, defective, or suspect parts and replace them with new appropriately load-rated parts.

Shock Loading

When a load is either moved or stopped, its static weight is magnified. Sudden movements can magnify the static weight several times. This magnification of static weight is called "shock loading". Shock loading poses a danger to equipment and workers. The effects of shock loading can be instantaneous, or may remain undetected unless the equipment is visually damaged. Proper preparation for shock loading requires careful planning and knowledge of equipment, suspension, and lifting practices.

Shock loading of equipment and structures is usually confined to lifting and installation, but natural forces (winds, earthquakes, and so on) can impose shock loads several times the static load. Because of this, structures and suspension equipment must be capable of supporting several times the weight of the suspended equipment.

Model Weight (kg) Weight (lbs)
AP-5102 21.8	48
AP-5122 29.7	66
AP-5152 36.3	80
AP-5122m 28	6 63

Using Integrated Suspension Points

The Suspension points are located such that the loudspeakers can be hung in any orientation.

Models AP-5102 (10"), AP-5122 (12"), and AP-5152 (15")

• 15 M10 Integrated Suspension Points.
- Two on each side, three on the back, and four on the top, and four on the bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure.

Model AP-5122m

• 11 Integrated Suspension Points
- Three on each side, one on the back, two on the top, and two on the bottom.

NOTE: The suspension points on AcousticPerformance Loudspeakers are designed for use with the eyebolts (M10, 20 mm) and washers included in the available M10 accessory kit (model number: M10 KIT-W).

1. Remove the appropriate plugs from the M10 installation points using a 6 mm hex key.
2. Thread an eyebolt into each of the appropriate M10 installation points.
3. Tighten the eyebolts until their shoulders are snug against the enclosure.
4. Continue to rotate the eyebolts until they reach the optimum desired in-line position. Do not overtighten.
5. The loudspeakers are ready for suspension.

Using Yoke Mounts

AcousticPerformance Loudspeakers can be installed using a yoke mount attached to the M10 Integrated Suspension Points. A 6 mm hex key is required.

• Model AP-5102 (10") uses the AP-YM10 Yoke Mount
• Model AP-5122 (12") uses the AP-YM12 Yoke Mount
- Model AP-5122m (12" multi-purpose) uses the AP-YM12m Yoke Mount

NOTE: The AP-5122m mounts perpendicular to the yoke. Refer to Figure 2.

WARNING!: Consult a structural engineer before mounting the Yoke Mounts to any surface. Be sure the surface can support the weight of the loudspeaker, and that the proper bolts are used to secure the yoke to the surface.

• Figure 1 -

ENG

1. Properly secure the yoke mount bracket to the selected surface.

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2

1. Remove the center M10 hex plugs from the top and bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure. You may discard or recycle the plugs.
2. Using proper lifting techniques place the loudspeaker in the yoke with the two circular pads between the top and bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure and the yoke.
3. Install the M10 socket head cap screw, lock washer, and fl at washer through the yoke and pad, and into the Integrated Suspension point. Repeat for the other end of the loudspeaker enclosure. Do not fully tighten the screws at this point.
4. Adjust the angle of the loudspeaker as required.
5. To prevent rattling with models AP-5102 and AP-5122 in a vertical orientation, install the two rectangular pads between the loudspeaker enclosure and the yoke mount.

NOTE: If you reposition the loudspeaker be sure to check that the rectangular pads are in the proper positions.

1. Torque the M10 cap screws to 60 in/lbs.

• Figure 2 -

Connections

AcousticPerformance Loudspeaker are capable of switching between Passive and Bi-amp mode. Look at the Setting ports to determine the current mode. Yellow in the Setting port indicates the current mode. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4

NOTE: The default mode, from the factory, is the passive crossover network.

Changing from Passive to Bi-amp

All AcousticPerformance loudspeakers ship confi gured in passive mode. To change from Passive to Bi-amp mode or Bi-amp mode to Passive mode:

Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6

1. Remove the six screws holding the input cup in place.
2. Remove the input cup, being careful not to place excess stress on the connecting wiring harness.
3. Remove the wiring harness plug from the receptacle at the bottom of the cup.
4. Insert the wiring harness plug into the other receptacle at the bottom of the cup.
5. Turn the input cup over and verify that yellow is visible in the proper SETTING port. If not, move the plug to the other receptacle.
6. Carefully place the input cup back into position on the enclosure, being careful not to bind or pinch any of the wires.
7. Secure the input cup with the six screws removed in step 1. Do not overtighten.

Wiring the AcousticPerformance Loudspeaker

WARNING!: Make sure the amplifiers are turned off, and disconnected from the power source, or the loudspeaker wiring is not connected to the amplifiers.

Refer to Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.

The pin numbers for the NL4 connector correspond to the pin numbers on the barrier strip.

Model AP-5122m utilizes NL4 connectors only.
