Setting Up Your dB500a System
Permanent Installation
The dB500a is logical solution for many fixed
installations in live sound venues, discos,
schools, houses of worship, convention cen-
ters and airport terminals to name a few. The
enclosure is extremely versatile for instal-
lation as it can be hung in several different
positions by using the ten Fly-points.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Hanging the dB500a is
serious business and therefore licensed and
insured professional sound contractors only
should perform such an installation.
Using the Fly-points
The dB500a features ten fly-points
located in pairs below each of the five
carry handles. By removing the handles
you will have access to the threaded
inserts that are compatible with a
variety of standard M8 hardware. The
dB500a’s ten fly points accept M8 rig-
ging hardware like that available from
ATM Flyware (www.atmflyware.com).
M8-1.25, 16mm shoulder eyebolts (ATM
Flyware part number, M8-1.25x16EYE)
can be used for hanging the enclosure.
When using the eyebolts, be sure to
use a 1.3 mm (0.05") thick flat-washer
for 8 mm bolts against the insert, and
a 2.6mm (0.09") thick lock-washer for 8
mm bolts between the flat-washer and
the eyebolt.
