4 - SETTING uP AND ASSEMBLING THE ARRAY
The mechanical set-up of the array is carried out in two phases:
a) assembly of the RA16 speakers and the BUMPER, using the rear rigging
plates (that allow joining the speakers composing the array and adjusting
the splay angle between adjacent speakers) and the quick-release pins,
featuring a ball safety lock (QuickLock).
b) "flying" the system or positioning it on the ground or stage floor.
To simplify the operation, the two phases may be carried out
simultaneously.
The suspension accessories supplied by Montarbo are suitable for rigging:
• up to 8 RA16 speakers with a B2 BUMPER
• up to 8 RA16 speakers with a B1 BUMPER, when using a single suspension
point
• up to 16 RA16 speakers with a B1 BUMPER, when using two suspension
points.
Before beginning the assembly work, the array geometry (the splay angles
between the different RA16 enclosures) must be determined using the
EASE Focus software program, then the following operations must be
carried out:
Figure 18.2
1) Align on the floor or on a
horizontal plane (e.g. a wooden
board of suitable size and strength)
all the RA16 speakers and the
BUMPER (figure 18.1).
Make sure that their orientation
is correct (top-bottom).
2) Make sure that the BUMPER is
placed under the support structure's
rigging point (figure 18.2).
