Figure 7.6. MG-M'elodie grid's link combinations
In addition, the up and down tilt of the MG-M'elodie and the
array hung underneath can be adjusted using chain motors,
or differing lengths of steel or span set.
CAUTION: Always use red button pins (5/16"
x 0.875") or blue button pins (used in M1Ds,
5/16" x 1.25") to secure each grid link to the MG-
M'elodie. Avoid using the black button pins (5/16"
x 0.63") since they are shorter and will not lock in
place.

Using the MG-M'elodie for Ground-Stacking

In addition to its flown capabilities, the MG-M'elodie grid
B
forms a secure base for ground-stacking. For ground-
stacking, secure the bottom M'elodie enclosure to the
MG-M'elodie grid using the captive GuideALinks and red (or
blue) quick release pins. The grid allows two positions for
the rear link. The bottom position is used to achieve angles
from 0 to +11 degrees (uptilt) while the top position is used
to achieve angles from -5 degrees (downtilt) to +6 degrees
with respect to the grid.

THE MTF-MICA/M'ELODIE TRANSITION FRAME

When using M'elodie enclosures as downfill with a MICA
array, the MTF-MICA/M'elodie transition frame is used
between the lowest MICA and the top M'elodie. The MTF-
B
MICA/M'elodie can also be used to transition from 600-HP
subwoofers (fitted with MRF-600 rigging frames) to M'elodie
when flown or groundstacked to deploy a single array.
