Using the pole mount

The P1500X has two different pole mounting angles: level and 7.5 degrees down. This allows the loudspeaker to be adjusted to an angle that provides optimal audience coverage. For example, a loudspeaker placed on a raised stage platform may have the pole mount adjusted to 7.5 degrees downward so the front audience will not be missed.

Adjust the pole mount angle on the loudspeaker before it is placed onto a pole. On the bottom of the loudspeaker is a rotatable disc with two tabs and a position indicator. Use the two tabs to rotate the disc so that the position indicator is aligned with either 0 (level) or 7.5 (angle downwards). Be sure the disc ‘clicks’ into place and cannot rotate freely.

CAUTION: When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following:

Make sure the pole stand is capable of handling the weight of the loudspeaker. Be sure to observe all precautions as indicated by the pole stand manufacturer.

The pole stand must be placed on a flat, level and stable surface with the legs fully extended. The pole stand legs should be placed where they will not present a tripping hazard.

Power cables and audio signal cables must be placed in a location where they will not create a tripping hazard or topple the speakers over when moved or pulled.

When placing the loudspeakers on top of the pole stand, be sure to ask for help.

Before loudspeaker pole mounting, be sure to inspect all critical points for any cracks, deformations, corrosion and/or missing parts that may affect the strength and safety of the installation.

Only use a pole stand intended for loudspeaker use.

Avoid placing the pole stand and loudspeaker in an area of traffic to prevent accidental contact.

In a windy environment, be sure to use additional weight to support (sandbags) on the base of the pole stand for additional stability. Do not attach banners, signage or balloons to the pole stand and/or the loudspeaker.

Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding equipment installation and ensure that all local, state and national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are understood and adhered to.
