5. RIGGING AND SUSPENSION
The CXP Series (with the exception of CXP-21 Sub) features M10 (metric) steel rigging points. The enclosures (EXCEPT CXP-
21Sub) may be suspended for either temporary installation or permanent installation. Suspension of the CXP Series should be
attempted ONLY by someone familiar with overhead suspension of products and familiar with local and national codes
associated with suspension of products. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others! DO NOT SUSPEND THE CXP
PRODUCTS UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED WITH OVERHEAD RIGGING AND UNDERSTAND AND OBEY ALL GENERALLY ACCEPTED
SAFETY PRACTICES!
The CXP 121C, 151C, 122F, 152F may be mounted to any high-quality loudspeaker stand with a standard 1.375 inch (35
mm) diameter mounting pole that is capable of supporting the weight of the enclosure. The mounting pole MUST be
located on a level surface that is capable of safely supporting the weight of both the loudspeaker stand and the
enclosure. DO NOT ADD OR SUSPEND ANY ITEMS TO THE ENCLOSURE OR LOUDSPEAKER STAND.
These enclosures may also be suspended using the M10 Eye bolt kit available from P.Audio. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
SUSPENSION HARDWARE.
The CXP-21Sub is intended to be used with a standard M20 screw thread style satellite pole mount (available from P.Audio) for
mounting the CXP-121C, 151C, 122F, or 152F above it. The CXP-21Sub MUST be located on a level surface that is capable of
safely supporting the weight of both the CXP-21Sub and the mid-hi speaker.
WARNING: The pole used to mount the mid-hi enclosure must NOT be more than 0.8 meters (31.5 inches) long. DO
NOT use a pole that is longer than 0.8 meters! DO NOT PLACE ANY OTHER LOUDSPEAKERS, EXCEPT THE CXP SERIES on
the CXP-21Subs POLE.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUSPEND P.AUDIO PRODUCTS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING LOCAL AND NATIONAL
CODES THAT APPLY TO OVERHEAD SUSPENSION OF PRODUCTS.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUSPEND P AUDIO PRODUCTS UNLESS YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL WITH KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL
AND NATIONAL CODES RELATED TO SAFE SUSPENSION AND ARE EXPERIENCED IN SUSPENDING PRODUCTS OVERHEAD.
WARNING: The CXP PRODUCTS are intended for indoor suspension ONLY! DO NOT suspend or attempt a permanent
installation in an outdoor environment!
P.AUDIO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURES RELATED TO NON-COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES AND
SAFE SUSPENSION PRACTICE. ALL ASSOCIATED RIGGING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS.
6. APPLICATION AND TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
The CXP Series makes up components of a high-quality professional sound reinforcement system designed for use in both
indoor, and dry outdoor applications. Some basic precautions will insure long-term reliability.
EQUALIZATION AND GAIN
The CXP-121C and 151C have all the required equalization and gain functions included in the internal analog signal processing
circuits. Both the equalization and gain functions have been optimized for flat frequency response and maximized system
dynamics.
If distorted sound is heard the gain and EQ settings on the outboard mixer and any other external equipment should be carefully
checked to ensure that the input section of the CXP-121C/CXP-151C is not overloaded.
If additional equalization is required, care should be taken to avoid excessive EQ in any frequency band, but particularly at low
frequencies. Excessive equalization can produce “band selective” clipping and distortion. All EQ boost levels should be monitored
if system distortion is present.
Applications that require excessive low frequency equalization are almost always an indication that a sub woofer is required.
P.Audio offers the CXP-21Sub; a companion product for use with the CXP Series and it will provide substantial low-frequency
acoustic output.
