Suspending ZxA5 Speaker Systems
ZxA5 enclosures have 5 steel anchor points internally mounted on the top, bottom, and rear. Single stud fittings can be attached to these anchor plates and used as suspension points. Each of these anchor plates also has a M8 thread to accept rated forged M8 shoulder eyebolts. In addition to these points there are five additional M8 threaded points; two on the handle side, and three on the rear. These points can be used for suspending ZxA5s vertically, horizontally, individually, in clusters, or to attach to EV mounting brackets. Working load limits for the ZxA5 and fittings are shown in Figure 3.

Prior to each use, inspect the grid assembly or suspension point(s) and associated hardware for any cracks, deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce the grid assembly or suspension point(s) strength. Replace any damaged hardware. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load intended for grid assembly design or suspension point(s). As an added safety measure, it is suggested that the user install a second suspension point back to the grid (or building structural supports). This redundant safety point should have as little slack as possible (less than one inch is preferable).
Prior to each use, inspect the loudspeaker enclosures for any cracks, deformations, missing or damaged components, which could reduce enclosure strength. Inspect the bracket assembly on the enclosures for any cracks, deformations, missing or loose screws which could reduce the flying hardware strength. Replace any loudspeaker systems that are damaged or missing hardware. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the ZxA5 systems.
