EKX Full-Range Loudspeaker Accessories Safety 1 The EKX loudspeaker systems and rigging accessories in this manual have a minimum structural safety factor of 8:1 when used as intended. The safety factor is defined as the ratio of the ultimate-break strength divided by the working-load limit. The ultimate-break strength represents the force at which a part will structurally fail. The working-load limit is the maximum load that the user shall apply.
