Suspending with Eyebolts
TCS cabinets can be suspended using optional eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided on
the top, bottom and 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 countersunk screws and replace them withshoulder eyebolts, which must have
a thread length of at least 18 mm. Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room
coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL INSTALLATION METHODS: 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.
Rotating the HF horn pattern
The high frequency horn in all TCS122-R and TCS152-R models can be rotated through 90° in order to swap
the horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns, particularly useful when assembling clusters or for example
to retain the original dispersion when the cabinet is installed in a horizontal orientation.
1. Place the cabinet on its back on a suitable work surface. Take care of the protruding cable gland.
2. Remove the 10 posi-drive screws that hold the grille in place and set the grille aside (fi g 1).
3. Remove and disconnect the bass driver (fi g 2) to access the compression driver retaining brace, making a
note of the bass driver polarity for later reconnection.
4. Reach in through the bass driver cavity and loosen the two wing nuts securing the compression driver
retaining brace (fi g 3).
5. Remove the horn fi xing screws that secure the horn to the enclosure and lift out the horn and
compression driver assembly (fi g 4). (If required for servicing or replacement, disconnect the cables from
the compression driver, making a note of the polarity for later reconnection.)
6. Rotate the horn to achieve the desired coverage pattern (fi g 5).
7. Re-assemble the cabinet and drivers by reversing steps 1-5.
8. If the compression driver cables have been disconnected, reconnect the cables while observing the
correct polarity (white cable to the +ve terminal, black cable to the –ve terminal).
9. Place the horn and compression driver back into the cabinet, making sure that the driver cables pass
underneath the compression driver retainer and that the compression driver fi ts squarely back into the
retaining brace.
10. Tighten the wing nuts back onto the compression driver retaining brace (fi g 3).
11. Replace the horn fi xing screws and tighten to secure the horn back into the enclosure (fi g 4).
12. Reconnect the bass driver cables, observing the correct polarity (red cable to the +ve terminal, blue cable
to the –ve terminal).
13. Check all components and confi rm the horn orientation is correct (fi g 6).
14. Replace the grille (fi g 1) and phase check the cabinet before use.
