NOTE:
The splay angles listed on the
GuideALink labels are for relative angles
between the center axes of the linked units. For
example, setting the GuideALinks to 5 degrees yields
a 5-degree downtilt of the lower unit to the upper unit.
How the loudspeakers relate to the floor, stage, and
seating angles in the venue depends on the orientation
of the grid, the angles of the loudspeakers in the array
above them, and other factors. MAPP prediction
software should be used to calculate optimum splay
angles for loudspeakers and to predict coverage
patterns for arrays.

configurations, refer to the MTG-LYON Assem-
bly Guide (PN 05.232.097.01) available at

Angle (Yellow)
Sets splay angles for
cabinets when stack is
on ground.
Locking (Blue)
Locks splay angles for
cabinets after stack is
lifted.
0° / TRANSPORT
Locks cabinets for safe
transport in caster frame. Can
also be used when attaching
top cabinet to grid.
Stow Pin
Move locking pins here for
safekeeping before lifting or
lowering the stack. This allows
splay angles to expand and
contract. Never put the blue
locking pins in your pocket.
WHEN TO MOVE THE LOCKING PINS TO THE
"STOW PIN" POSITION
The quick-release pins in the blue LOCKING positions must
be moved to the STOW PIN position before either lifting or
lowering an array. The removal of the quick-release pins from
the LOCKING positions allows the splay angles to expand and
contract when assembling and disassembling the array.
Moving the pins to the STOW PIN position also keeps them
handy so they won't be dropped or misplaced.
TIP:
Resist the urge to put the blue locking pins
in your pocket. Instead place them in the STOW
PIN position before lifting or lowering the array.
