Inspection & Maintenance

WARNING: The loudspeaker and all mounting components must be inspected annually by a qualified professional who is trained and certified in suspending loudspeaker systems. All rigging parts and components used in the suspension of the loudspeaker system should be visually inspected for signs of cracking, bending, water damage, corrosion, de-lamination, or any other condition that could compromise the system's integrity and create a dangerous falling hazard.

Maintaining Weather Resistance

ArenaMatch Utility loudspeakers are rated for direct-exposure outdoor installations. To maintain weather resistance, please observe the following precautions:

1. Before, during, and after installation, check the surface of the loudspeaker enclosure to ensure that the factory-applied, weather-resistant coating has not been damaged.
2. During install, angle the loudspeaker at least 5^ downward to reduce the potential of rain compromising the performance of the loudspeaker.
3. All mounting holes must be sealed off with steel screws (included with applicable accessories) or the included plastic plugs (pre-installed).
4. The gland nut that secures the loudspeaker cable is factory sealed. Do not remove the gland nut or the weather-resistant seal will be broken.
5. The loudspeaker is rated for direct-exposure installations, which means the grille is designed to withstand normal and wind-driven rain. The grille is not designed to withstand direct spraying of water from a hose or pressure washer.

CAUTION: If the above instructions are not observed, the weather-resistant integrity of your ArenaMatch Utility loudspeaker could be compromised.

For fire and evacuation notification applications, environmental rated to IP33C per EN 54-24. For general purpose audio installation applications, environmental rated to IP55 per EN60529.

AMU108 -110° -110°

AMU206 -110° -110°

AMU208 -110° -110°

Note: The pitch angle is defined between the loudspeaker reference axis and the perpendicular axis to the mounting surface.

Mounting AMU Loudspeakers with the U-bracket

CAUTION: Before installation, determine the location and position of your AMU loudspeaker. Only remove the plastic inserts that are necessary for your installation. The plastic inserts are factory sealed to prevent water damage. If any insert is left unsealed after installation, the weather-resistant integrity of your loudspeaker could be compromised.

1. Choose a mounting location that will safely support the weight of the loudspeaker.
2. Remove packing materials and place the loudspeaker on the floor beneath the planned suspension point.
3. Using the included T3 square drive, remove the center plastic insert and one other insert (determined by your loudspeaker installation design) on each side of the loudspeaker.
4. Insert an M8 screw through a rubber washer and into the center threaded hole on each side of the loudspeaker. Do not tighten.
5. Hold the U-bracket in the mounting location and mark the holes.
6. Drill holes into the mounting surface using previously marked positions.
7. Attach the U-bracket to the building surface using appropriate fasteners (not included).

CAUTION: For attaching U-brackets to a surface, choose fasteners that are consistent with all local building codes and requirements to support the weight of the loudspeaker.

1. Hang the loudspeaker on the bracket by lowering the M8 screws into the bracket slots, keeping the rubber washers between the bracket and the speaker enclosure.
2. Connect your wiring to your loudspeaker.
3. Feed the wiring through the gland nut on the input panel cover and tighten the gland nut (see Securing the Wiring on page 16).
4. Attach the input cover using the included M4 screws (see Attaching the Input Panel Cover on page 17).
