Carvin tcs ユーザーズマニュアル

The TCS series loudspeakers can be flown in many different arrays and con-

figurations (above).  The many possibilities are ideally suited for large venue main
house systems, fill or delay systems, church installations, as well as small to
large club installations.  Hanging speaker arrays serve two main purposes  (1)
to clear up floor space and (2) to pinpoint sound locations.  Speaker arrays ensure
that everyone listening hears the sound at the same level.

The mounting/rigging points of the TCS loudspeakers must either be used for

mounting hardware (eyebolts) or “plugged” with the hex-socket screws provided.
There are two reasons for this.  When suspending the loudspeaker from one end,
the screws in the mounting/rigging points on the other end transfer the load through
the internal steel bracing to the bottom surface of th enclosure for structural sup-
port.  Also if they are not “plugged”, the holes can create air leaks compromis-
ing the low frequency performance of the enclosure (below).

Using the mounting points at an angle will de-rate the WLL (working load limit)

for each point.  Each point mounted at an angle should be de-rated according
to the following formula.   WLL=cosine(angle) x 500
angle = degrees form vertical pull
500 = WLL for each TCS mounting point @ vertical pull 

Mounting or rigging loudspeakers is a serious endeavor, always seek the advice of qual-

ified experts.  Improper installations may result in damage, injury or death.  

Never use the handles for suspending the loudspeaker, they are not designed or rated for

this purpose.

All hardware used for overhead suspension should be designed and used with a mini-

mum 5:1 design factor.  This is the ratio between the structural failure point and the load-
ing to be applied to the component.  Periodically inspect and maintain on all rigging points
on the loudspeaker and on all suspension hardware. DANGER: hardware found at your
local hardware store should not be used as it may not be rated for this application.  Carvin
is not responsible for damage caused by use of improper hardware.

Carvin offers suspension hardware to allow you to suspend one cabinet or as many as

255 cabinets (TCS210) in a 360° array !  Although most of us will never need this many
speakers, it just demonstrates the awsome capability of the TCS series loudspeakers and
rigging/suspension hardware.  

The internal steel bracket used on all TCS loudspeakers is designed to accept 3/8” forged

steel eyebolts (Carvin’s TH10).  A description of  the hardware is listed below:
