About the Turbosound NUQ122-FY Flying Yoke for NuQ122 Loudspeakers
The Turbosound NUQ122-FY is a dedicated, heavy-duty flying yoke engineered specifically for the safe and precise aerial suspension of NUQ122 powered loudspeakers. This professional rigging component serves as the critical interface between the loudspeaker cabinet and a certified overhead suspension point, such as a motor, truss, or fixed anchor in a permanent installation. Constructed from high-grade steel with precision machining, the yoke is designed to meet rigorous safety standards for both touring and fixed applications, providing a reliable and secure method for deploying the loudspeaker in flown arrays or as a single suspended element. Its design ensures a rigid connection that eliminates unwanted movement, maintaining the acoustic orientation and integrity of the loudspeaker during operation.
The yoke attaches directly to the loudspeaker's integrated M10 rigging points using supplied high-tensile hardware, forming a secure and stable frame around the cabinet. It typically features a central forged steel ring or multiple heavy-duty attachment points, allowing riggers to connect standard flying hardware like shackles or carabiners. A key functional aspect is the inclusion of a tilt adjustment mechanism, often a single, locking adjustment point that allows the angle of the loudspeaker to be finely tuned after it has been hoisted into position. This enables system technicians to optimize the loudspeaker's coverage pattern for the audience area without the need for cumbersome manual repositioning, blending flexible adjustment with positive, secure locking.
Safety is the paramount concern in the yoke's engineering and design. It is manufactured with a substantial safety factor, meaning its rated load capacity significantly exceeds the weight of the NUQ122 loudspeaker to account for dynamic forces encountered during raising, lowering, and high-SPL operation, such as acceleration, deceleration, and vibration. By using this manufacturer-approved flying yoke, installers and technicians ensure that the loudspeaker is suspended in strict accordance with its design specifications and professional rigging practices. The NUQ122-FY is thus an essential component for the professional deployment of these loudspeakers, providing the necessary security and adjustability for advanced audio systems.
