Ceiling Mounting

Non-powered NuQ cabinets can be ceiling mounted using OmniMount™ ceiling brackets from the 60 series and 120 series ranges. The brackets attach to the rear of the cabinet and allow a range of angle adjustment. To install a cabinet using OmniMount ceiling brackets:

•Remove the blanking screws from the rear panel of the loudspeaker (there are two M6 hex countersunk screws on the NuQ-8 and NuQ-10, and four M6 hex countersunk on the NuQ-12 and NuQ-15).

•Mount the bracket to the ceiling using suitable fixings.

•Offer up the loudspeaker using suitable lifting equipment and attach the speaker plate to the rigging points on the rear of the loudspeaker.

•Angle as necessary and tighten all fixings.

Small Loudspeaker Arrays

NuQ series loudspeakers offer two choices of dispersion pattern, and this facility gives considerable flexibility of coverage when assembling small loudspeaker arrays. By rotating the Converging Elliptical Waveguides within the cabinet it is possible to obtain either wide horizontal coverage or narrow horizontal coverage. The table below shows the possible dispersion options for each model.

Model	NuQ-8	NuQ-10	NuQ-12	NuQ-15

Factory-supplied	100°H x 60°V	100°H x 60°V	80°H x 50°V	80°H x 50°V

HF horn rotated	60°H x 100°V	60°H x 100°V	50°H x 80°V	50°H x 80°V

Horizontal Rigging

Where ceiling height is limited or for other aesthetic reasons it may be desirable to mount cabinets horizontally. The NuQ-SB horizontal

swivel bracket is used for this purpose, and can be fixed directly to a ceilings, or truss mounted using the SC-01 scaffold clamp. The swivel bracket is attached to the M10 rigging point at the top of the cabinet and to the pole mount socket at the bottom. In order to maintain a wide horizontal coverage pattern when flying the cabinet

horizontally the high frequency horn should be rotated through 90°. For instructions on rotating

the horn please refer to the servicing section of
