5.1 - System Overview
The flying system for the X3 product family has been specifically designed to be flexible,
intuitive and reliable. Please read this section of the user manual extremely carefully
as the rigging of loudspeakers is a very serious matter with potentially fatal consequences
should anything go wrong. If you are in ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER, contact a
reputable rigging company or your local EM Acoustics representative.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The X3 rigging system has been designed and constructed to a very high standard of
safety, and tested to demanding specifications. To ensure the highest standards of safety,
the following information on array assembly must be exactly followed and understood.
Only use EM Acoustics recommended rigging hardware and accessories, which are
specifically designed for the purpose. Do not use X3 flying hardware for any other
loudspeaker system – the components are specifically designed to work with the X3
system and are not interchangeable with any other EM Acoustics loudspeaker product or
any other loudspeaker system. The use of X3 flying hardware with other manufacturers’
systems may compromise the safety standards and EM Acoustics, and its parent company,
are in no way liable for any loss, damage or injury caused by such practice.
Do not modify or alter the X3 hardware or accessories, nor use them in any way other
than that described in this manual. Rigging components supplied as part of the X3 system
are in no way interchangeable and should not be used as such.
The component parts of the X3 rigging assembly should only be assembled in the manner
described in this manual, using the fasteners and fixings stated herein. The use of
fasteners and methods of assembly not described in this manual may result in an unsafe
assembly and as such EM Acoustics will not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury
caused by such practice. Welding, drilling or any other means of modifying any part of
the flying hardware or permanently fixing components to each other is strictly forbidden.
Rigging assemblies must only be assembled using the appropriate parts and fixings as
described in this manual, explicitly following the assembly instructions given herein.
Rigging components must only be fixed to EM Acoustics X3 system components, using the
correct cabinet location points, assembly methods and fasteners specifically described
within this manual.
Walls, floors and ceilings must be capable of supporting the actual load placed upon them.
The rigging hardware must be safely and securely fixed to both the loudspeaker system
and the supporting structure.
