APX-152™/APX-PowerPro™ Rigging and Mounting Options
Speaker Rigging Hardware – The APX-152™ and the APX-Power Pro™ 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 APX-152™ and the APX-Power Pro.™ 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 APX-152™ and the APX-Power Pro™
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 APX-152™ and the APX-Power Pro™ also
include a pole mount option. The pole mount socket located on the bot-
tom of the speaker may be used to secure the speaker to a speaker tri-
pod, such as the American Audio® SPS-1B or the SPS-2B 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.

You will also need high-quality two or four conductor speaker cable, a pair of needle-nosed pliers and a 1.5- mm Allen key to assemble the Speakon connectors to your speaker wire. To assemble the Neutrik Speakon NL4FC connector, complete the following steps: 1. Strip back 3 /4-inch of the cable casing. Strip off 1 /4-inch from the end of each of the conductors down to bare wire, and insert the brass fi ttings ( Figure 10). 2. Slide the cable tension clip (D) and the speakon coupler (E) through the cable end. See fi gure 11. 3. Insert each wire with the brass fi ttings into the top of appropriate slot of the connector insert (B) as shown in fi gures 11 and 12. Use a 1.5-mm Allen key to tighten the connection (Figure 12). 4. Be sure to properly match the positive (+) and negative (–) leads of each wire (Figure 13). 5. Slide the connector insert (B) into the connector housing (A), making sure that the large notch on the outer edge of the insert lines up with the large groove on the inside of the connector housing. The insert should slide easily through the housing and out the other side until it extends approximately 3 /4-inch from the end of the housing. 6. Slide the cable tension clip (D) along the cable and insert into the housing (A), making sure that the large notch lines up with the large groove on the inside of the connector housing (A). The cable tension clip (D) should slide easily into the housing until only 3 /8- inch of the cable tension clip (D) extends from the back end of the connector. 7. Slide the coupler (E) along the cable and screw it onto the end of the housing (A). Before tightening, you may want to test the connector to make sure it has been assembled properly.
