The RSX series loudspeakers are a perfect solution for many fixed installations such as live 
sound venues, discos, schools, houses of worship, convention centers and airport terminals. The 
two-way speaker enclosures are extremely versatile for installation as they can be suspended in 
several different positions by using the twelve fly points.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Suspending an RSX loudspeaker should only be done by a qualified, 
licensed and insured professional sound contractor. Installation in an unsafe manner or location 
can result in property damage and serious injury. When installing the speaker, make sure all 
local ordinances are understood and adhered to. Always check and ensure that whatever struc-
ture the speaker is mounted to is devoid of cracks, deformations, or any signs of fatigue. 

The RSX speakers are designed to be mounted directly to a 
structure. Never suspend an RSX cabinet from another speak-
er, and do no suspend another speaker from an RSX cabinet. 

When suspended, always affix a safety cable from the RSX 
cabinet to the mounting structure. 

A minimum of two (2) attachment points must be used when 
suspending the speaker enclosure. The rear and side attach-
ment points are only used as pull-back points to adjust the 
angle of the speaker. Only the top and bottom fly points are 
load-bearing suspension points. 

When suspending the RSX cabinet, it is recommended that 
you use an eyebolt, thimble, and shackle along with wire rope.
