APPENDIX A: ASSEMBLING ARRAYS WITH THE GRID
9. Raise the grid so the suspended loudspeakers are slightly off the floor and remove the two rear quick-release pins secur-
ing the bottom cabinet's GuideALinks to the caster frame. Rest the rear wheels of the caster frame on the floor and
remove the two front quick-release pins to detach the caster frame from the bottom cabinet. Retract the GuideALinks for
the bottom cabinet and pin them in the stowed position.
10. Raise the grid so the suspended loudspeakers are slightly higher than the next stack of LINAs to be linked. Roll away the
empty caster frame.
11. Roll the next stack of LINAs into position under the suspended loudspeakers. Remove two front pins from top of cabinet
of stack being attached. Lower the suspended loudspeakers until they are almost touching the downstage edge of the
top cabinet to be attached. Adjust the placement of the LINA stack so that when the GuideALinks from the bottom sus-
pended cabinet are unpinned they will fall cleanly into the link slots of the cabinet being attached.
If the GuideALinks are not stowed as described in Step 9, you may damage the top of the cabinet

!
being attached by hitting it with a link that is pinned in the extended position.
12. Pin the front GuideALinks first. Remove two rear pins from top cabinet of stack being attached. Position and pin the rear
GuideALinks of the suspended loudspeaker to the desired angle. Bump the motors to lower the rear GuideALinks into
the link slots of the cabinet being attached and pin.
13. Attach the AC power, audio, and RMS cables to the newly added loudspeakers.
14. Repeat the previous steps until the entire array has been assembled. All loudspeaker-to-loudspeaker links are made with
the loudspeaker pins.
As loudspeakers are added to the suspended array, try to keep the grid parallel to the stage surface to
NOTE:
ease the process of adding more loudspeakers to the array. Failing to do so may place the array's center of
gravity in front of the downstage motor, which could make it very difficult to control the angle of the grid and attach
the rear links. In some cases, when the array length is longer than 10–12 loudspeakers, it may be necessary to push
the suspended array toward the downstage direction and lower the array to close the gap between the rear of the
flown and stacked loudspeakers.
