Mounting and fi xing
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 qualifi ed personnel with the required experience and certifi cation to perform the necessary
tasks. Walls, fl oors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting
accessory used must be safely and securely fi xed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, fl oor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, fl oors or ceilings, ensure that all fi xings 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 fi xing
arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fi xings, if required,
must be of an appropriate type, and must be fi tted and used in accordance with the maker’s instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a fl own 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 qualifi ed and certifi ed (by local state
or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or fl ying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and fl own by qualifi ed and certifi ed 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 qualifi ed personnel to ensure that the system remains in a
secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is fl own, the area underneath the speaker is
free of human traffi c. Do not fl y the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic fi eld, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can
be affected by such fi elds (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually
between 1 and 2 metres.
