Flown systems overview
Flown clusters are recommended for very high power music systems covering large
venues to ensure adequate coverage without excessive levels at the front of the venue.
Wavefront series products are fitted with MAN load-certified flying points and are
designed to comply with the 12:1 safety factor specified by the German VBG70
standard when used with compatible 12:1 flying systems.
MAN Transformer or Installer/Tourer flying systems allow columns of loudspeakers
to be assembled by attaching individual loudspeakers to vertically daisy-chained D-
rings using keyhole cabinet fittings - hence the tendency to base flown designs in this
applications guide on multiple columns. The beauty of the MAN system is that each
cabinet in a system supports only its own weight.
See Section 1.8 for further details and illustrations.
Rigging Schools!
Rigging should not be undertaken by untrained or unqualified personnel.
Suitable rigging training sessions may be arranged by calling Martin Audio Ltd on

Important note on flown systems examples
Wavefront cluster examples are included in this manual to illustrate recommended
loudspeaker combinations and splay angles only. Note that very large clusters -
particularly those including Wavefront Longthrow elements - may need to be flown
in multiple layers to maintain the 12:1 safety factor of the standard Martin Audio
Wavefront 8 Flying System.
