This user manual contains essential information for rigging and deploying ALIS Series loudspeakers to their full capability. Assembly concept for ALIS Series loudspeakers is the same for both ALIS12 and ALIS15 enclosures so we will show you the information in this guide taking as reference ALIS15 enclosure except in those particular accessories in which there are assembly differences between both models.
T-44/48: Advanced System Amplifier ▪ System Engineer: Remote control software for amplifier OTHER ALIS SYSTEM COMPONENTS All the other components of the system are presented in the ALIS Series user manual, document intended to describe the operating modes and the loudspeaker connection.

Operation Manual ARRAY CONFIGURATIONS The ALIS loudspeaker has got a complete collection of rigging, flying, and mounting options. Comprised of rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure components, lets you deploy ALIS loudspeakers as arrays at fixed angles to take full advantage of their directional design. The top and bottom sides for the ALIS cabinets include threaded metric holes (for M8 screws) for easy connection to rigging and third-party mounting options.

Rigging Assembly Guide Remove the front pins of each coupling bar. Fig. 3 Located the ALIS15s next to each other and align the adjacent the rails so they are as close as possible to each other. Fig.4 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 From the rear, slide the coupling bars inwards and re-attaching the front quick-release pins.
Operation Manual Horizontal array with THV-ALIS Series The optional THV-ALIS Series pickup plate allows lifts ALIS horizontal arrays with uptilt or downtilt. A single pickup plate supports 1-4 loudspeakers. Two pickup plates and the accessory TecB004 universal Fly Bar support 5-6 loudspeakers. The pickup plate comes with M8 bolts, and washers for securing the plate to the ALIS cabinet.

Operation Manual The following configurations are allowed: 6x ALIS15 + 2x THVALIS15; 5x ALIS15 + 2x THVALIS15; 4x ALIS15 + 2 x THVALIS15; 4x ALIS15 + 1 x THVALIS15; 3x ALIS15 + 2x THVALIS15; 3x ALIS15 + 1x THVALIS15; 2x ALIS15 + 1x THVALIS15 and ALIS15 + THVALIS15 Fig.12 ALIS15 in horizontal array When an array is suspend with two THV-ALIS15 pickup plates, two pick points for each pickup plate can be using.
Rigging Assembly Guide The TecB004 Spreader Bar The optional TecB004 spreader bar can suspend two THV-ALIS Series pickup plates from a single motor point. Under no circumstances is a bridled suspension chain allowed. Seventeen hanging points are provided at each end of the spreader bar to adjust the spread between the pickup plates.

Operation Manual Fig. 13 Six ALIS15s Horizontal Array with two THV-ALIS15s suspended from the TecB004 Spreader Bar CAUTION: Routine maintenance inspections of the shackles should include a check for wear inside the shackle, check the body for distortion and check for the wear on the shackle pin. Never Replace a Shackle pin with a Bolt.
Rigging Assembly Guide Vertical array with TTG-ALIS15 The ALIS15 loudspeaker array can be suspends vertically using the optional TTG-ALIS15. Before starting to assemble the array, you must define the orientation of the HF section of the cabinets. The ALIS15 cabinets have an asymmetric design. To enable a symmetrical setup for stereo systems, one’s cabinet orientation may be reversed.

Rigging Assembly Guide If you will suspend the system with two motor points two TTG-ALIS15 grid are needed and should be assembled as shown in the next figure. Fig. 21 Three ALIS15s Vertical Array with two TTG-ALIS15s to be suspended by two motor points CAUTION: For array pull-back configuration, use a second TTG-ALIS15 grid.
Operation Manual The TAF-ALIS Series for fixed installations In a fixed installation and for get better control and stability TAF-ALIS12 / TAF-ALIS15 array frame are recommended to use. The array frame TAF-ALIS will be used to interconnect and fixing two ALISs enclosures.
