CHAPTER 4: QUICKFLY RIGGING
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 reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. 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 (roof truss), and not just to the
wall surface.
■ Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite
®
on all
threaded fasteners.
■ Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.
LEO-M RIGGING OPTIONS
Table 1 summarizes the available rigging options for LEO-M. For complete information on rigging hardware, including
dimensions, weight, configuration, and load ratings, refer to the MTG-LEO-M Assembly Guide (PN 05.215.049.01) available
at www.meyersound.com
.
NOTE: The MCF-LEO-M caster frame and MTF-LEO-M/MICA transition frame do not include quick-release
pins because they are secured with the quick-release pins included with the loudspeakers.
