Site angle calculation
Refer to the modeling in SOUNDVISION software to determine the site angle of an array and the
corresponding rigging option for the flying structure.
Rigging options for KARA-MINIBU as a flying structure
®
L-ACOUSTICS recommends 4 different rigging options to fly SB18 or KARA arrays with the KARA-MINIBU.
Option 1 and Option 2 are for KARA standalone array only and are not presented in this document.
In both rigging options allowing the flying of SB18 enclosures, KARA-MINIBU and KARA-MINIBUEX have to be
assembled so as to form the flying structure.
The orientation of the whole structure when attaching it to the array will determine if the configuration is in front or
rear extension.

Front or rear extension in SOUNDVISION software
When modeling a system in SOUNDVISION software, the rear extension of any rigging frame is indicated by
inv following the frame name in the Global Settings section of the Loudspeaker Data window.
SB18_RM_EN_1-0
Option 3: 1 motor point
• 1 shackle or CLAMP250, at a variable position (17 holes)
• 2 rigging positions when attaching the structure to an enclosure (front or rear
extension)
• 34 discrete setting choices, for which the angle value depends on the number
of enclosures
• With an SB18 array, in any configuration, hole 15 will always provide the
closest value to 0°.
Option 4: 2 motor points
• 2 shackles, at front and rear positions (holes 1 and 17, spacing 407 mm/16 inch)
• 2 rigging positions when attaching the structure to an enclosure (front or rear
extension)
Lock the front motor at the intended height for the array.
Adjust the rear point height to achieve the intended site angle.
