All information presented herein is based upon common materials and practices. The installer must comply with all local/state regulations regarding the suspension of active sound systems. Users should consult with engineering and regulatory authorities for specific guidelines. Before suspending any speaker system always inspect all components (enclosure, rigging frames, pins, etc.) for cracks, deformations, corrosion, missing, or loose or damaged parts that could reduce the strength and safety of the system.

ATTACHING CABINETS The MR12 and MR652 cabinets must be suspended using the MRA1 Line Array Suspension Bracket (604900) by a qualified Structural Engineer using industry practices. Improper installation will result in damage, injury, or death. Monoprice is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any purpose.
RIGGING AND SUSPENSION Before attempting to suspend the MiniRay™ System, please read and understand this safety information. Never attempt to outwit your own common sense. If you do not understand how to rig or suspend heavy equipment, DON'T DO IT! Always consult with a licensed structural engineer regarding placement and load points of the facility to which this system will be attached.
Rigging/Suspension Hardware Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for the intended use. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products. Purchase additional suspension hardware from rigging supply houses, industrial supply catalogs, or specialized rigging distributors. Hanging Points A licensed Structural Engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to structures prior to installation of any overhead object.
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM Your MiniRay™ Active Line Array system is designed to run as a simple full-range audio solution with no need for any outboard processing. Simply connect XLR cables from the output of your mixing console to the input of the MiniRay speakers, then daisy-chain to the next ones.

Q3: The sound is severely distorted and the Limit LED is illuminated or blinks rapidly. A3: Try reducing the output volume level. Try reducing the level of the audio source. Try using a different audio source to see if the distortion is in the source or not. You can also reduce the bass on the mixer or EQ to get more volume without distorting the system.
