Chapter 1: Safety Information
1.1 Intended Use
The rigging components (MAN-FG y grid, rigging pins, mounting links) shall only be used in conjunction with Turbosound MV212 loudspeakers and MS215
subwoofers as described in this manual.
1.2 Intended Use of this Manual
The instructions in this manual describe how to assemble various congurations of MV212 and MV212-XV loudspeaker cabinets, MS215 subwoofers, and the MAN-FG
y grid, in readiness for suspending or ground stacking.
These instructions shall only be used with the MV212, MV212-XV, MS215, and MAN-FG components.
The instructions do not show details of external lifting equipment and do not contain details of safe lifting procedures or installation.
Possession of these instructions and procedures does not imply authorisation for their use.
1.3 General Safety
The operation of your product as part of a suspended 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 qualied and certied (by local, state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation.
Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualied and authorised personnel observing the valid local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your
country. If any parts or components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that the suspension/xing points are suitable for the intended use.
We also recommend you schedule Turbosound line array training with our sales partners and applications team.
Equipment used to connect to the Turbosound rigging system must be properly rated and must conform to the local, state and other safety regulations. Do not
use Turbosound rigging with other types or brands of loudspeakers. This practice may compromise safety standards and Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd will not be
responsible for damage or injury so caused. Do not modify the rigging accessories, or use them in a way other than that described in this rigging manual. Rigging
components supplied as part of a complete assembly are non-interchangeable and must not be exchanged with the component parts of any other assembly.
Welding, or any other means of permanently xing rigging components to each other or to cabinet xing points is not allowed. Rigging components or assemblies
must only be xed to Turbosound loudspeaker cabinets using the cabinet xing points.
Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd 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 qualied personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the product is suspended,
the area underneath the product is free of human trac. Do not suspend the product in areas which can be entered or used by members of the public.
1.4 Loudspeaker Cabling
Attach and support the speaker cables from your ampliers to the loudspeaker cabinets, so that no signicant additional weight or lateral force is applied to the array
by the input wiring.
Input cables or link cables should never be used to angle the array or used as rigging in any way.
1.5 Load Capacity and System Safety
The MAN-FG y grid is designed to suspend a maximum of 16 x MV212 or 12 x MS215 on a 10:1 safety factor, and Mixed arrays of 6 x MS215 and 8 MV212 on a 10:1
safety factor. Use EASE FOCUS modeling software to predict various possible array combinations.
Manchester Series installation procedures and recommendations described in Chapters 3-5 are based on 10:1 design factor. Manchester Series enclosure counts and
combinations are also given for other design factors in Chapter 10. Check local regulations in order to comply with regional design factor requirements.
Always refer to EASE FOCUS modeling software error and warning indications prior to installation.
1.6 Safety Inspections
Carefully inspect rigging system components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble the array to be own. If any parts are
damaged or suspect, or if there is any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items DO NOT USE THEM and withdraw them from use immediately.
