PRESET 5: FLOWN MINI ARRAY WITH SUB ON FLOOR
When the MSX sub is used in isolation, as with Preset 5, there is no necessity to fit the Ground
Stack Baseplate to it.
There are two methods of suspending an array of 4 MLA Minis:
•
with the Flying Frame and a chain hoist
•
with the Universal Tilt Bracket and a scaffold clamp (or similar single-point fixing)
The Flying Frame allows the 4 x Mini array to be suspended using either one or two chain
hoists. The Flying Frame may be fitted with a clinometer to allow the array tilt to be accurately
measured.
The Universal Tilt Bracket may be used inverted (relative to its use with the Pole Mount), with a
standard Trigger Clamp attached to its 13 mm fixing hole instead of the boss that secures it to
the Pole Mount. This is the simpler method, and is ideal if a scaf pole or truss is available. Note
that 4 x Minis is the ONLY MLA configuration that may be flown using this method; all other
configurations MUST employ the Flying Frame.
Note that the order of cabinets in a flown array is effectively reversed relative to their order in a
Pole Mount or Ground Stack configuration. Thus the top cabinet in the array is assembled first.
Step 1: Start with the four MLA Mini cabinets face down on their flightcase base. The cabinets
should be locked together with Flying Pins at the front and rear, with the rear pins in the '0.5'
position so that the four cabinets form a "flat" array. Attach the Flying Frame to the top cabinet,
noting that the cabinet's top lugs mate with slots in the base of the Flying Frame. Use two Flying
Pins to secure the front corners. Note that there are two available mounting positions on the
frame; for this Preset, ensure that the front of the flying frame is flush with the bottom front edge
of the cabinets. (The second mounting position is only used with larger arrays.)
