Modular flybar assembly The key element in flying
multiple TQ-440SP enclosures is a versatile Flying
Bar Assembly (FB-58), manufactured by
Turbosound, that will support a vertical column of
up to three enclosures deep. Fly bars can be linked
in the horizontal plane using the index pins
provided to form arched arrays with adjustable
(horizontal) angles from 0º to 45º at 5º increments
per cabinet. This allows arrays and clusters of
almost any angle to be configured with the ability
to change array angles without dismantling and
whilst suspended. This useful feature allows for
fine tuning of speaker positions for best coverage,
throw and SPL’s.
On each side of the TQ-440SP cabinet you will find
keyhole type quick-release flying plates, plus top
and bottom rear brackets for pull-up straps and
linking plates. Single cabinets are suspended with
short fixed length steel cables (FS-40) and pull up
straps (TS-440) to align the downward angle. When
flying more than one cabinet in the vertical plane
the second row of speakers is flown on longer
fixed length steel cables (FS-61).
Any installation, whether temporary or permanent, must be securely attached to the struct ure of
the building using chain, steel wires or web straps which are certified and load rated for the
purpose. The combined weight of the sound system, its cables and the rigging system must be
safely carried by the points at which attachment is made to the building or structure. Great car e
must be taken in selecting the attachment points and methods, being absolutely sure of the load
carrying capacity of points chosen.
NOTE: The rigging of loudspeaker systems is an extremely serious matter with potentially lethal
consequences should anything go wrong. It is of vital importance that you, or other people rigging
the system, are suitably qualified to do so and have a full understanding of all the factors involved
with safety as a number one priority. Turbosound accepts no responsibility for any accident,
damage or failure of any rigged system. This rigging information is specifically relat ed to the
requirements of the TQ-440SP only. For more detailed information on the whole topic of rigging
various handbooks are available. If you are in any doubt contact your Turbosound dealer who will
be able to refer you to an experienced rigging company.
