Important Safety Instructions 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean only with a dry cloth. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Safety First Suspension: The Electro-Voice TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 have threaded points that can be used for suspension. Please consult pages 3-6 on properly suspending Tour X models prior to installation. WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead.
Description The Electro-Voice Tour X professional loudspeakers are a unique and highly-functional package of pro audio performance, versatility and aesthetics. Many of the design features are taken from EV’s many years of experience in designing transducers and loudspeaker systems for high quality concert touring applications. The TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 are multipurpose full-range loudspeakers that are equally suited for portable and fixed installation applications.
Suspending TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 (continued) Prior to use, inspect the suspension point(s) and associated hardware for any cracks, deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce the suspension point(s) strength. Replace any damaged hardware. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load intended for the suspension point(s).
Suspending TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 (continued) WARNING: Eyebolts must be fully seated and orient in the plane of pull as shown. Always use fender washers at least 1.5” in diameter and 1/16” thick under the eyebolt to distribute the load on the enclosure (Figure 3). See Figures 5-6 on proper ways to suspend a Tour X loudspeaker.
Suspending TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 (continued) WARNING: Suspension points are to be used for a single enclosure only, never arrays. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended working load for the TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 systems.
Rotating the Horn on TX1152 and TX2152 The TX1152 and TX2152 loudspeakers have horns that can be rotated to change the coverage pattern. The coverage pattern angles are indicated on the horn flange. 1. Remove the (6 or 8) screws that attach the grille to the enclosure (Figure 8). 2. Remove the (12) screws that attach the horn to the enclosure, and disconnect the wires that attach the compression driver to the input panel (Figure 9). 3.
Rotating the Logo All Tour X loudspeakers have logos that can be rotated (horizontally or vertically) to the user’s desired orientation. The logo is mounted on a spacer that has the signature “backbone” notch profile of Tour X grilles. 1. Remove the six (6) or eight (8) screws that attach the grille to the enclosure (Figure 8). 2. Remove the one (1) screw on the back of the grille that attaches the spacer to the grille (Figure 11). 3.
TX-W1 Wheel Kit for TX1181 and TX2181 The TX1181 and TX2181 loudspeakers have six (6) mounting points for the TX-W1 Wheel Kit on their rear panels. The TX-W1 Wheel Kit is made up of two (2) skid plates with two (2) castors on each skid plate. When mounted on the rear of a TX1181 or TX2181, they can greatly reduce setup time and virtually eliminate the need to carry subwoofers. 1. Remove the six (6) screws on the rear of the TX1181 or TX2181 loudspeaker (Figure 13). 2.
