    (i.e. connecting the Primary port to the Secondary network) will result in communication errors. While the ADAPTive systems provide a complete data and power cabling solution, users can consult the cable and connector information below to develop their own cabling solutions if desired to meet specific challenges they face in system deployment.

  • Page 7: Aes/Ebu

    AES/EBU Users wishing to deliver digital audio using the AES/EBU standard must provide their own XLR cables. Connect the output from your AES/EBU digital audio source to the XLR-3F Input connector on the rear panel. Do not use loop-through connector when running system with AES/EBU input. Due to induced latency, loop output does not pass AES/EBU signals.

No module setting changes are necessary to switch between regional voltage ranges (120, 208, 220, etc.) As with data, ADAPTive systems include pre-defined AC power cable assemblies with tails and extensions, based around 6-module fan-out looms of varying lengths, as well as extenders.

    *Array size results in a Design Factor of less than the recommended 10:1. Refer to EAW Resolution for further details. Loom: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 feet (6 tails) Extension: 12 feet CAUTION: There is no power switch on the loudspeaker. When connected to the AC mains, the loudspeaker will be fully operational, with the output level controlled by the signal source feeding the loudspeaker as well as by internal DSP.

    There is no option to splay each module and the modules are only designed to be flown in a straight vertical orientation. Use the correct holes on the Flybar as determined by EAW Resolution 2, based on rigging conditions and weight restrictions. Ground Stacking ADAPTive columns may be ground-stacked.

In all situations, it is critical to verify in EAW’s Resolution software that your configuration does not exceed recommended loads for any aspects of the Anya rigging system. It is the responsibility of the installer/technician to verify the chain motors, connecting members (i.e.

    Rigging Modules to Flybar (Single column Anya) Note: All complete Anya systems will ship with Flybars already on top of stacks. 1. The Flybar has built-in Rigging Latches that will slide into the Rigging Channels of the top Anya module. On the top Anya module, pull back on the Pin Grip to open the Rigging Channel. 2.

    3. Once the Rigging Latches are set into the channel simply push on the Pin Grip to engage the pin. Check each Anna module’s Pin Grip to ensure that you do not see the orange reflective tape. Any visible orange indicates that the pins are not fully engaged. Pull the Pin Grip all the way out, then firmly push the Pin Grip in until you feel a positive stop.

    5. On the Caster Pallet, remove the four quick-release pins linking it to the bottom module, releasing the stack from the Caster Pallet. 6. Verify that the bottom module’s Rigging Latches are fully retracted and inspect the entire array. When an array is properly and safely flown, the ONLY orange that should be visible will be on the Latches of on the bottom-most module.

Lock the Rigging Latches in the retracted position by rotating the Latch Grips inwards (towards each other) 90 degrees. The Latch Grip handles will now be oriented horizontally (pointing inwards).

    10. Once this inspection is complete, fly out to trim height (if a complete array). (Fig. 4) If array is not complete, raise it high enough to clear the next stack of Anya modules and repeat from Step #2 above. Rigging Modules from Modules (Otto) Each Otto module contains its own rigging support structure, based on the simple and safe Rigging Latch-and-pin design.

    Rigging Multi-Column Arrays (Anya/Anna) The Anya/Anna Flybar has a built in “pin and tapered slot” feature, allowing users to create multi- column arrays with the proper spacing and angle between columns. Before rigging multi-column arrays, verify your configuration in Resolution. 1.

    Rigging Multi-Column Arrays (Otto) The Otto Flybar has a built in “pin and tapered slot” feature, allowing users to create multi-column arrays with the proper spacing and angle between columns. Before rigging multi-column arrays, verify your configuration in Resolution. 1. Begin with two stacks of up to 4 Otto modules, both with Flybars already rigged on top. Because users will need to move the arrays using the Caster Pallets, they may choose to stack only one or two modules to reduce the weight.
