This product is intended for installation by professional installers only! This document is intended to provide professional installers
with basic installation and safety guidelines for this product in typical fixed-installation or portable-system applications. Please read this
document and all safety warnings before attempting installation.
WARNINGS:
• All Bose
®
products must be installed in accordance with local, state, federal and industry regulations. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure installation of the loudspeakers and mounting system is performed in accordance with all applicable
codes, including local building codes and regulations. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction before installing this
product.
• Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury or death, and property damage.
It is the responsibility of the installer to evaluate the reliability of any mounting method used for their application. Only
professional installers with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe mounting techniques should attempt to install any
loudspeaker overhead.
CAUTION:
• Installed loudspeaker arrays require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure proper function and
safe operation. Inspect mounting hardware and attachments for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may
decrease the structural integrity. Immediately replace worn or damaged components.
• Do not make unauthorized alterations to this product; doing so may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, system
performance, and may void the warranty.
• Never exceed 24 ShowMatch full-range or 18 ShowMatch subwoofer modules using the integrated rigging system for arrays.
Please refer to product labels for Working Load Limit data.
NOTE: Always use Bose Modeler
®
or Bose Array Tool software to confirm safe working load limits with exact array configurations, pitch
angles, and connection points.
Guidelines for Installation and Setup of ShowMatch

Array Module Loudspeakers
The installation information contained in this document is only a general guideline and cannot, as such, represent all requirements and
precautions. Accordingly, anyone using this material assumes all liability and is expressly responsible for the safety of all loudspeaker array
designs and mounting configurations applied in practice.
• Prior to the installation or portable-system setup of any overhead loudspeaker, a licensed professional engineer must approve the
location and method of attachment to the building structure or support-truss structure and confirm they are consistent with all building
codes and regulations. Ensure the mounting surface and the method of attaching the loudspeaker system to the surface is capable of
supporting the total weight of the system. A safety factor of 10:1 is recommended.
• Obtain all mounting system components from reputable manufacturers. Select a mounting system appropriate for your loudspeaker
system and its intended application. We recommend Bose mounting accessories when available. A licensed professional engineer must
review the design and fabrication of any custom mounting hardware.
• Bose ShowMatch array module loudspeakers feature an integrated quick-pin rigging system, designed to facilitate loudspeaker array
mounting by professional installers. Module to module connections should be made using only the integrated rigging link-bars with the
included or optional load-rated “quick pin” fasteners. Unmarked (not rated for load bearing) fasteners should not be used.
• Do not suspend loudspeaker using handles as attachment points. Handles are NOT designed for load bearing!
• Use a safety cable, separately attached to the cabinet, at a point not in common with the load bearing attachment points of the
mounting system to the loudspeaker. This is recommended even if not required by local regulation. Consult a licensed professional
engineer or a rigging professional for proper design and installation.
• Do not under any circumstances climb the array.
