CHOOSING A PRESET

The MLA Mini system comes with six factory-designed presets which optimise the system for
use in the most commonly-encountered rigging configurations. Presets are loaded by pressing
the PRESET SELECT button on the MSX rear panel; press the button until the number of the
required preset is displayed:
The diagrams below summarise the intended application for each preset. Note that the MSX-
to-Mini cabling is the same for all presets, and the audio input is set to analogue in all cases.
The diagrams indicate the various angles which will need to be set; these include the inter-
cabinet angles and the angle between the mounting and the first Mini. The selected preset
optimises the MLA Mini system for the dimensions and heights shown in the diagrams, but good
performance will still be obtained if, for example, the room is a different size or if it necessary to
use a different mounting height. Always use the preset which most closely represents the rigging
configuration you are using.

Preset 1 optimises the system for use with the 4 x Mini array attached to the MSX sub using the
Variable Height Mount Pole. This will be an appropriate setup for venues where there is no stage;
it is assumed that the standing audience will be on the same level as the MSX. The system will
be able to provide effective coverage from 2 m to 12 m from the loudspeakers.
