Section 3:
Mechanical Installation
A qualified technician must install the Sportsound 2000HD sound system cabinet. It is the customer’s
responsibility to ensure that a qualified structural engineer approves the mounting structure and any
additional hardware needed to secure the cabinet.
The cabinet must be installed no further than 100' (31 m) behind the goal post to provide coverage for
seating from goal to goal.
Note:
Daktronics assumes no responsibility for the structure’s integrity. The engineer responsible
for the attached-to base structure shall evaluate the adequacy of their structure to support the
gravity loads imparted by the cabinet at each attachment point in combination with other
associated loading conditions. Daktronics assumes no responsibility for system damage or injury
resulting from installation methods that deviate from attachment details specified on shop
drawings. Daktronics also assumes no liability for system damage or injury resulting from
incorrect setup, or incorrect lifting methods preformed by non-Daktronics employees.

Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the cabinet.
Spreader bars ensure the force on the eyebolts remains straight up, minimizing lifting stress.
