PXI 15P™                                                  Rigging and Mounting Options
Speaker  Rigging  Hardware  – The 
PXI  15P™  may  be  permanently  installed  or  mounted  using 
any  of  the  many  available  third  party  wall  brackets  and  ceiling  mounts  available.  Always  be  sure  to 
follow all safety instructions and guidelines included with the mounting hardware for safe and proper 
installation.  American  Audio
®  carries  an  assortment  of  rigging  hardware  specially  designed  to  work 
with  the  PXI  15P
.™  The  Z-APX/B  is  a  heavy-duty  bolt  and  may  be  used  to  secure  the  speaker  to  a 
cable  or  chain.  The  Z-APX/H  is  a  heavy-duty  eyebolt  and  is  used  to  suspend  or  secure  the  speaker 
using safety cables. Please contact your dealer for more information and availability.
Rigging  Points  – The  PXI  15P™  include  four  rigging  points. 
These  points  are  detailed  on  page  six.  The  rigging  points  are  used 
to “fly” or suspend the speaker in the air by some means.
Pole Mounting – The  PXI 15P™ also include a pole mount option. The 
pole  mount  socket  located  on  the  bottom  of  the  speaker  may  be  used 
to secure the speaker to a speaker tri-pod, such as the American Audio
®
SPS-1B as illustrated on the left. Always be sure to follow the guidelines 
listed below when pole mounting your speaker;
     • Always be sure the stand is designed to support the weight of 
        the speaker
     • In outdoor situations that are prone to windy conditions and 
        strong wind gust, be sure to use sandbags as additional tri-pod
        support, this will greatly reduce the risk of tipping
     • Do not stack speakers on top of each other when mounting on 
        a tri-pod. Only one speaker should be mounted to a tri-pod at one
        time.
     • Always position the tri-pod legs away from foot traffic
     • Extend the tri-pod legs to their fully extended position to avoid
        accidental tipping
     • Observe and follow all safety guidelines and regulations specified
        by the tri-pod’s manufacturer
     • Be sure the tri-pod is situated on a flat, level, and stable surface 
     • Always tighten all tri-pod locks
Pole  Mount  Locking  Screw  – This  screw  is  located  on  the  rear  of 
the  speaker  and  is  attached  to  the  pole  mount  socket.  Always  use  this 
screw  to  secure  the  speaker  in  place  when  mounting  this  speaker  in  a 
pole  mount  configuration.  Always  be  sure  to  tighten  down  on  this  screw 
to prevent the speaker from shifting directions during use.
