HK Hanging Kit

Hang Mounting from Above

The hanging kit is attached when ordered with the speaker from the factory. If ordered separately, attach as shown in Diagram 1.

MBS Mounting Bracket

Preparing the Speaker

The speaker is prepared for use with the MBS mounting bracket when both are ordered together from the factory. If ordered separately, prepare the speaker as shown in Diagram 2 or Diagram 3 and Diagram 4.

a) Begin by removing the plastic flashing from the hole in the reflector rim so that the screw can be inserted from the outside. Flashing can be removed with a 1/4" drill bit (Diagram 2), or it can easily be punched through using a hammer (Diagram 3). If using a 1/4" drill bit; be careful not to remove any material other than the flashing, or the speaker will not install correctly.
b) Place the stop nut in the pocket as shown in Diagram 4. Start screw through outside hole, through stop nut contained in the pocket, and slightly beyond the interior hole (Diagram 5).

a) Fasten the bracket in the desired location, making sure that it is properly and safely mounted.
b) Slide the side of the reflector opposite the screw over one end of the installed bracket.
c) While holding the screw side against the surface, tighten the screw until the speaker is resting firmly in position.

Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mounting

Two Caddy Twist Clips and Twist Nuts are provided for connecting to suspended ceiling T-bars. Please refer to the enclosedCaddy Clip T-bar mounting instructions for more details (Diagram 6).

Remember to clip and insulate unused input wires; shorting any input wire to another will reduce the volume level and place an unexpected load on the power amplifier.

When ordered with the Model 110B or Q-6, the TX-30 is mounted to the back of the reflector and the loudspeaker driver connections are made at the factory.

Use either black wire for input common or driver (-) connections.

Notes:

• Red or Red with White stripe is 4 ohm tap.
• The total tap wattages should not exceed the amplifier's capability.

Other Information

Wire runs between the amplifier(s) and loudspeaker(s) must be of the appropriate gauge to insure the full audio performance capabilities of the Soundsphere loudspeakers. This applies to all loudspeaker impedances (4 or 8 Ohms) or audio line voltages (50, 70.7 or 100 Volts). For more information, please see the 'Downloads' section at www.soundsphere.com, or call our Customer Service at 913.663.5600.

Always check local requirements for overhead suspension of loudspeakers.

WARNING

Be sure to securely tighten all hardware before hanging the loudspeaker. Wire rope (steel cable), cable clamps with saddles and thimbles of suitable size and strength are the recommended materials for overhead suspensions. All loudspeakers should be redundantly safety wired to structural members of the building with an approved safety wire system or other agency certified materials.

IMPORTANT: Always check local safety codes before installing any overhead loudspeaker system and for periodic inspection and maintenance of the installation.
