The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple,
cost effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional
loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for
its specific role. To ensure the safest possible use of the hardware covered in this guide, it must be
assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specified. The information in these manuals
relating to the assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed.
The installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers using the dedicated hardware should only ever
be carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all the required safety codes and
standards that are applied at the place of installation.
WARNING: As the legal requirements for flying change from country to country, please consult you

Tannoy Professional hardware has been designed for use with specific Tannoy Professional
loudspeakers, and is not designed or intended for use with any other Tannoy Professional products,
or any other devices. Using Tannoy Professional hardware for any purpose other than that indicated in
this guide is considered to be improper use. Such use can be very dangerous as overloading,
modifying, assembling in anyway other than that clearly stated in the manual, or damaging Tannoy
Professional hardware will compromise safety.
The component parts of any Tannoy Professional hardware device must only be assembled using the
accessory kits supplied and in strict compliance with the user manual. The use of other accessories
or non-approved methods of assembly may result in an unsafe hardware system by reducing the load
safety factor. Welding, or any other method of permanently fixing hardware components together or to
the integral fixing points in the cabinet should never be used.
Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy
Professional hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and
securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely, securely, and in
accordance with the manual, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question,
using only the fixing holes provided as standard and covered in the manual. Secure fixings to the
building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in
any doubt.
All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of work and
entertainment must, be provided with an independent, correctly rated and securely attached
secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device. This secondary safety must prevent
the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”) should the principle hardware
device fail.
