User manual ELECTRO-VOICE TX2181

[. . . ] It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. If Tour X loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice® strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. [. . . ] Many of the design features are taken from EV's many years of experience in designing transducers and loudspeaker systems for high quality concert touring applications. The TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 are multipurpose full-range loudspeakers that are equally suited for portable and fixed installation applications. The TX1181 and TX2181 subwoofers are designed for low frequency reinforcement of the full-range loudspeakers. The TX1122FM and TX1152FM are purpose-built vertical floor monitors with (patent pending) Signal Synchronized Transducers (SSTTM) for small to medium sized stages. General System Features · Low distortion, high excursion SMX and EVS woofers · DH3 and ND2 compression drivers mated to Constant DirectivityTM horns · Lightweight and durable enclosures with EVCoatTM · High strength, 16GA steel "backbone" design grilles with rotatable logos · High order crossovers with equalization and HF protection · Dual NL4 input connectors · Multi grip handles · High sensitivity and power handling · (6) 3/8" threaded points for eyebolt suspension (TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 only) · Signal Synchronized TransducersTM (TX1122FM and TX1152FM only) Suspending TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 The TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 enclosures have (6) 3/8" threaded points; (3) points on the top of the enclosure and (3) points on the bottom (Figure 1). Forged shoulder eyebolts that are rated for overhead suspension may be used to suspend an individual loudspeaker, such as the EBK-1 accessory. Top Suspension Points Top Suspension Points Bottom Suspension Points Bottom Suspension Points Figure 1a: TourX Suspension Points (Right-Top View) 3 Figure 1b: TourX Suspension Points (Left-Bottom View) Electro-Voice® Tour X Owner's Manual Suspending TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 (cont') Prior to use, inspect the suspension point(s) and associated hardware for any cracks, deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce the suspension point(s) strength. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load intended for the suspension point(s). As an added safety measure, it is suggested that the user install an extra suspension point back to the 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. Replace any loudspeaker systems that are damaged or missing hardware. To install the eyebolts, remove the 3/8" screw in the desired locations and replace with the fender washer and eyebolt (Figure 2). If the eyebolts are removed, reinstall the screw; otherwise air leaks will occur in the enclosure, resulting in undesirable performance.

Always use fender washers at least 1. 5" in diameter and 1/16" thick under the eyebolt to distribute the load on the enclosure (Figure 3). See Figures 5-6 on proper ways to suspend a Tour X loudspeaker.
