TCS-AN SERIES
Suspending with Eyebolts
TCS-AN cabinets can be suspended using optional eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided on the top, bottom and sides and back. The simplest
method is to use the two rigging points on the top and a single pull-back rigging point in the centre of the rear panel.
Remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them withshoulder eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 18 mm. Use the rear rigging point to
angle the cabinet for optimum room coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL INSTALLATION METHODS: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified
personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the
actual load. The mounting accessory used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling
claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement
can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in
accordance with the maker's instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation or flying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components
delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. Music Tribe, including the Music Tribe companies listed on the enclosed
"Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is flown, the
area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a
safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
Rotating the HF horn pattern
The high frequency horn in all TCS122 and TCS152 models can be rotated through 90° in order to swap the horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns, particularly
useful when assembling clusters or for example to retain the original dispersion when the cabinet is installed in a horizontal orientation.
1. Place the cabinet on its back on a suitable work surface.
2. Remove the 10 posi-drive screws that hold the grille in place and set the grille aside (fig 1).
3. Remove and disconnect the bass driver (fig 2) to access the compression driver retaining brace, making a note of the bass driver polarity for later reconnection.
4. Reach in through the bass driver cavity and loosen the two wing nuts securing the compression driver retaining brace (fig 3).
5. Remove the horn fixing screws that secure the horn to the enclosure and lift out the horn and compression driver assembly (fig 4). (If required for servicing or
replacement, disconnect the cables from the compression driver, making a note of the polarity for later reconnection.)
6. Rotate the horn to achieve the desired coverage pattern (fig 5).
7. Re-assemble the cabinet and drivers by reversing steps 1-5.
8. If the compression driver cables have been disconnected, reconnect the cables while observing the correct polarity (white cable to the +ve terminal, black cable to
the –ve terminal).
9. Place the horn and compression driver back into the cabinet, making sure that the driver cables pass underneath the compression driver retainer and that the
compression driver fits squarely back into the retaining brace.
10. Tighten the wing nuts back onto the compression driver retaining brace (fig 3).
11. Replace the horn fixing screws and tighten to secure the horn back into the enclosure (fig 4).
12. Reconnect the bass driver cables, observing the correct polarity (red cable to the +ve terminal, blue cable to the –ve terminal).
13. Check all components and confirm the horn orientation is correct (fig 6).
14. Replace the grille (fig 1) and phase check the cabinet before use.
