Sustain Lens™ Cloud
1258-1210.Sustain Lens Cloud Installation Guide (01/13/2020 - 9:47 AM)
The following instructions are provided to assist you in assembling two, four or six Auralex Sustain Lenses in an overhead cloud configuration.
These assemblies are typically flown over a mix or critical listening postion.
➊ Suggested Configurations:
Arrange Sustain Lens modules on a soft or carpeted surface in the desired configuration with the ceiling side facing up.
➋ Mark & Drill Holes: Cut out the supplied template to mark the locations for the supplied connector bolts and drill the holes. To minimize
the chance of splitting the Bamboo, we recommend drilling each hole in two steps. Make the initial hole with a 1/4” drill followed by a 3/8” bit
to bring the hole to the proper size. We also recommend using sharp or new drill bits for best results. Circled areas in the above illustrations are
recommended suspension cable attachment points (see figure 3 for more detail). NOTE: For marking holes on the ends of a two Lens array (pictured
above) center the template 6.5” from each end.
Grouping: Each joining surface between a pair of Sustain Lenses requires a minimum of two connector bolts (see figure 1). Indicate the surfaces of
each lens that will be joined to another lens by applying match marks with a small piece of masking tape and a marker. We suggest using a letter
and an arrow showing which side is up. Position the template on each of the labeled surfaces and mark the hole locations. Drill the bolt holes using
1/4” and 3/8” drill bits as described above.

Installation & User Guide
➌ Bolt Together: Prior to assembly, determine which connector
bolt pairs will include the suspension cables and assemble per
the illustration below. Insert connector nut into hole from inside of
WaveLens (see figure 3). Line up holes of the adjacent WaveLens
and thread the connector bolt in to the connector nut (see figure
2). Secure on both sides with the supplied hex wrenches. Do not
over tighten to avoid splitting the bamboo. Repeat for each
connection
➍ Hanging Positions: Thread the connector nut through the eyelet
of the cable assembly and then through the hole in the WaveLens.
Insert the connector bolt into the matching hole in the adjacent
WaveLens. Secure on both sides with the supplied hex wrenches.
