RIGGING & MOUNTING

Install the adapter by threading it into the center insert of the mounting plate on the bottom of the CPL + cabinet.

At some point, the adapter will no longer screw in any further. Then, find the nearest threaded hole on the adapter

mounting plate that line's up with one of the 24 holes on the cabinet mounting plate (it may be necessary to back

off the adapter slightly to line the holes up), and screw in one of the knob-headed bolts supplied with the adapter.

Two of the knob-headed bolts are provided, but only one needs to be screwed into position for the best fit of the

adapter, the other is provided as a spare.

Loosen the pole tightening knob till the threads clear the inside of the pole tunnel of the adapter, and place the

cabinet onto the stand pole, then tighten the pole tightening knob firmly once the speaker is aimed horizontally

as desired.

DO NOT TILT THE STAND/POLE TO TRY AND AIM THE CABINET VERTICALLY, THIS TYPE OF USE OF

THE STAND POLE ADAPTER MOUNT IS NOT ALLOWED!

When using stands or poles, be sure to follow these precautions:

Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the CPL + model, and observe all

safety precautions stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height and/or weight the stand is

rated for.

Always place the stand on a flat, level and stable surface, and be sure to fully extend the stand legs as per the stand

manufacturer's instructions.

Try to make sure that the stand legs are oriented for the least danger of tripping to those in the vicinity of the

stand. Never block a doorway or hallway with the legs of a stand.

Try to route cables so that people will not trip over them, or tip the speaker over. Use of duct tape, cable channels

or guards, or other appropriate tie-down/cover–up devices should be carefully considered and implemented.

When installing or de-installing the speaker on the stand, it is a good practice to have a helper if possible. It can

be hard to "thread the needle" and mate the stand cup to the stand pole while holding the CPL + speaker system

at arm's length. It is also helpful if someone holds the speaker stand and pole down while the CPL + speaker system

is removed from the stand pole, this prevents the CPL + speaker from pulling the pole up with it.

When using stands outdoors, never attach banners or flags to the stands or the CPL + speaker system, strong

winds may cause the speaker to blow over. If there is a possibility of windy conditions, then it may be prudent to

consider weighting or locking down the stand legs to prevent the CPL + speaker system from being blown over.

Use of the CPL + Pole Mount Adapter with a subwoofer and associated pole:

Always be sure to place the subwoofer used in this manner on a flat, level and stable surface. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions regarding how high the pole can be for a given size and weight of cabinet on top.

Many of the precautions mentioned above for speaker stands will also apply to this type of use.
