4.8.1Permanent Mounting

Each enclosure has provisions for permanently installing it.

XLT: These models have four 5/16-18 threaded T-nuts - one each in the top, sides, and bottom. The XLT48 has two mounting points - one on each of the two sides. These points are designed to be used with Community’s optional CSSUPKIT or WB1 mounting kits for permanent installations. The XLT41E has no provisions for permanent mounting or rigging.

XLTE: These models have six engineered, load-rated 3/8-16 mounting rigging points - three each on the top and bottom of the enclosures. The XLT48E has the same provision as the XLT48 - two mounting points - one on each of the two sides. The XLT41E has no provision for permanent mounting or rigging

4.8.2Corner Protectors and Stacking (XLT only)

The XLT enclosures have eight corner protectors on the corners of the enclosures. They serve as feet for the enclosure as well as providing protection from physical damage. They are designed with ridges in them that mesh with the corners of other XLT enclosures with the same footprint so that they can be easily stacked.

4.8.3Feet (XLTE only)

Each XLTE enclosure, except the XLT41E, comes with four heavy-duty rubber feet attached into slight recesses in the enclosure. The XLT55E also has recesses in the top of its enclosure that mate with the feet of the XLTE full-range enclosures when stacking.

The feet on the XLT41E are supplied unattached. They can be attached to either of the rear surfaces or the bottom of the enclosure depending upon the application. Pilot holes for locating and attaching the feet are provided on the rear surfaces, for monitor applications, and on the bottom, for upright PA use.

WARNING:

Refer to SECTION 7.6 for information on stacking enclosures.

4.8.4Carrying Handles

Each enclosure has recessed bar handles mounted near the center of gravity for easier lifting. The handles are an all- steel construction to help prevent breakage. The XLT41E has a steel spring handle.

DANGER:

Do not use the handles for mounting or hanging (suspending) the loudspeaker. The handles are not designed for nor load rated for these purposes.

4.8.5Stand / Pole Mounting

The 41, 42, and 43 models have a 1-3/8 in. / 51 mm socket in the bottom that mates to appropriate Ultimate Support or similar stands or poles. The 46 and 48 models have 5/16-18 T-nuts for attaching an external stand / pole mount adapter. The 51 has a pole socket in its top for pole mounting a full-range loudspeaker above it such as an XLT41, XLT41E or XLT42E. The Community SB5 pole accessory can be used for this purpose.
