Installation Precautions

This document details general mounting practices appropriate to the entertainment industry, as they would apply to the mounting of Electro- Voice Sx600 loudspeaker systems. It is intended to familiarize the reader with mounting hardware and techniques for suspending Sx600 loud- speaker systems overhead. Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe mounting techniques should attempt to suspend any sound systems overhead. Prior to suspending any Electro-Voice Sx600 loudspeaker systems overhead, it is essential that the user be familiar with the strength ratings, mounting techniques and special safety consid- erations outlined in this manual. The mounting techniques and practices recommended in this manual are, of necessity, in general terms to accommodate the many variations in mounting configurations. As such, the user is expressly responsible for the safety of all specific Sx600 loudspeaker mounting configurations as implemented in practice.

The Sx600 SuperSAMTM Mounting System is intented to support the Sx600 Speaker System only. Do not use it for any other purpose. Never set anything on, or hang anything from, the Sx600 SuperSAMTM when using it for the Sx600 Speaker System.

Installation Notes

The Sx600PI weighs in at 80 lb (36.3 kg.) and the Sx600PIX at 98 lb (44.5 kg).

It is the installer’s responsibility to insure that the mounting surface is stable and sufficiently strong to support the weight of the unit(s) being mounted.

The SuperSAMTM is made of tough 6061T6 aluminum, and the actual mounting bracket is stainless steel. DO NOT WELD. Consult and follow all applicable codes and procedures. Use only ½ inch diameter mounting bolts, 4 per bracket minimum. (all 6 is recommended) When mounting outdoors, remember to allow for wind, snow and ice load. Do not locate the Sx600 where it may be subjected to water or snow run-off from roofs, gutters, etc. NEVER MOUNT AN Sx600 ON ITS SIDE.
