Rigging WPM with the WPMGRIDt Touring Flying Frame

The fastest and most efficient procedure for rigging an array of WPM cabinets in a touring environment is to work in blocks of
four modules lifting them straight out of the transport case, which is designed to offer excellent protection, ease of handling, and
simplified rigging. Inter-cabinet angles are predicted from the Martin Audio DISPLAY software, and these angles can be preset
while the boxes are still in the transport case.
The following example illustrates the procedure for rigging an array of eight WPM cabinets with the Touring Flying Frame:
” To pre-select the inter-cabinet angles while in the case, release the drop link from the first box by removing the Rigging Pin
from the LOCK position. Slide it down and engage it with the appropriate angle hole in the second box as predicted by the
DISPLAY software, securing it with a Rigging Pin.

” Continue to preselect the inter-cabinet angles on the remaining three cabinets according to the DISPLAY software
prediction.
” Attach shackles to the front and rear lift points of the flybar. Offer the flybar up to the top box and attach it to the front rigging
points by inserting a Rigging Pin at each side. Attach the flybar rear link to the top box at the lock position.
” Attach chain motors to the shackles and raise the first block of four cabinets to a convenient working height, allowing
sufficient space underneath for a further block of cabinets.
