  • Page 15 Rigging Assembly Guide THV21-18VH GRID ORIENTED FOR MAXIMUM ARRAY DOWNTILT When the THV21-18VR grid is oriented forward with the attached loudspeaker near the front of the grid, the array’s centre of gravity is located closer to the front of the grid, thereby allowing the rear pickup points to achieve maximum array down-tilt.

  • Page 16: Guide Links

    Operation Manual Guide links CLA21 GUIDE LINKS ARM CLa21 is equipped with four captive guide links arms that link to adjacent units of CLa21 or SW-18VR in flown and groundstacked arrays. Located at the top corners of the cabinet, the guide links arms extend up and into the link slots of the cabinet above it (or into the link slots of the THV21-18VR).
  • Page 17 Rigging Assembly Guide CLA21 SPLAY ANGLES Front guide links arms attach at splay angles of 0 or +4 degrees. However, the front guide links should almost always be attached at 0 degrees, to ensure that coverage between linked cabinets is continuous. When attached at 0 degrees, the front guide links arms act as a pivot point between the linked CLa21s, with the splay angle between the units determined by the rear guide link positions.
  • Page 18 Operation Manual Wide splayed angles of 9 to 15 degrees should only be used for downfill coverage, or for steering coverage away from structures like balconies. The rear guide links arms determines the vertical splay angle (whether stacked or flown), as a function of the hole where the pin is attached.
  • Page 19 Rigging Assembly Guide When the front links guide are attached at +4 degrees, the pins must be inserted in the holes which the splay angles are labeled in brackets. The splay angles listed on the guide link labels are for relative angles between the center axes of the linked units.

  • Page 21 Rigging Assembly Guide SW-18VR GUIDE LINKS ARM When the SW-18VR is equipped with the TRK-18VR rigging kit, it includes six captive guide links arms and six mating link slots that link to adjacent units in flown and groundstacked arrays. Located at the top of the cabinet, links arms extend up and into the link slots of the cabinet above it, or into the link slots of the THV21-18VR grid, making it easy to link cabinets once they are stacked.

    Rigging Assembly Guide Groundstacking with the THV21-18VR Grid A CLa21 array must be stacked onto an THV21-18VR grid. The grid increases the array stability. With some restrictions, the THV21-18VR grid safely groundstacks up to: A grid stacked array can be composed of a maximum of 8 CLa21 enclosures along with all loudspeakers cables.

    Rigging Assembly Guide Groundstacking CLa21 on SW-18VR The CLa21 pull-back frame can be used to add 3 degrees of downtilt to CLa21s groundstacked on top of the SW-18VR. To achieve the downtilt, the pull-back is placed between the bottom CLa21 and the SW-18VR’s middle guide links. The downtilt from the pull-back is added to the tilt achieved with the SW-18VR’s middle guide links (see next table).

  • Page 42: Safety Guideline For The Twd21 Wooden Dolly

    Operation Manual Safety guideline for the TWD21 wooden dolly ▪ Do not stack more than four cabinets on the TWD21 wooden dolly. ▪ When transporting CLa21 stacks, pack them front-to-front or back-to-back so the rear plates do not face toward grille frames in neighboring stacks. While the CLa21 rear plate do not extend beyond the edge of the wooden dolly, rapid accelerations and stops could cause stacks to tip toward neighboring stacks, potentially damaging grille frames.

  • Page 43: Twd-18Vr Wooden Transport Dolly

    Rigging Assembly Guide TWD-18VR Wooden transport Dolly The TWD-18VR wooden dolly safely transports up to three SW-18VRs, making it easy to assemble and disassemble arrays in blocks of three cabinets. The TWD-18VR can also be used to support SW-18VRs in groundstacked configurations. Fig.
  • Page 44 Operation Manual SW-18VR cabinets need not be equipped with the TRK-18VR rigging kit for transport with the wooden dolly. The loudspeaker skids ensure that cabinets stack cleanly on the caster frame. However, to avoid tipping, straps (not included) should be used when transporting cabinets.
  • Page 45 Rigging Assembly Guide The THV21-18VR grid can travel installed on top of SW18VR stacks on the TWD-18VR wooden dolly. When transporting the THV-18VR grid on top of SW-18VR stacks on the TWD-18VR wooden dolly, to avoid colliding the grid with other SW-18VR stacks, attach the grid to the top SW-18VR cabinet with the cabinet’s front and rear guid links arms set to 3 degrees, so the grid is effectively raised 13mm (½”) above the stack.
