iQ Series
Mounting and fixing
iQ series powered loudspeakers are designed with multiple internal rigging points to suit many possible mounting methods in permanent installations. All cabinets
can be simply suspended using optional M10 eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided on the top, bottom, sides and back. The simplest method is to
use the two rigging points on the top and a single pull-back rigging point in the centre of the rear panel. Remove the appropriate plastic caps and insert eyebolts,
which must have a thread length of at least 30 mm. Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room coverage.
Wall and Ceiling Brackets
Turbosound iQ8-WB, iQ10-WB, iQ12-WB and iQ15-WB wall and ceiling brackets are optionally available for iQ series.
The graphic below shows the assembly of the optional mounting brackets (iQ8-WB, iQ10-WB, iQ12-WB and iQ15-WB).

Pole Mounting
Fullrange iQ loudspeaker models (iQ8, iQ10, iQ12 and iQ15) may also be pole mounted, either independently or in conjunction with iQ subwoofer models (iQ15B, iQ18B).
The iQ pole mount sockets allow fullrange models to be mounted straight or angled 7.5° downwards for optimum coverage.
iQ10, iQ12 and iQ15 models may also be placed on one side and deployed as wedge monitors. These models have been designed with sides angled at 48° to help with
upward sound dispersion.
Transport
The subwoofers are supplied with castors for ease of transportation when used as a portable sound system. To assemble the castors to the back of the cabinets, remove the 16
bolts from the rear of the speaker, align the castors with the mount holes and replace the bolts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and
certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory used must be
safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling
claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement can be
safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in accordance with the
maker's instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation or flying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components
delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. Music Group, including the Music Group companies listed on the enclosed
"Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is flown, the
area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a
safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
