Guide To System Setup; Suspending Ax3210P And Ax1118Sp Systems; The Suspension Of Ax3210P Systems With Kptax3210 Flying Bar - PROEL AXIOM - VERSION 2.0 Manual

5. Guide to System Setup

This chapter of the manual is devoted to the mounting procedures necessary to fly or stack the AXIOM
Series Curvilinear Vertical Array Systems. The AXIOM Systems are built to allow the suspension of
arrays with variable shape and dimensions thanks to a suspension mechanism designed to be functional,
flexible and safe. The loudspeakers are linked together in a column using a series of couplers integrated
in the frame of each enclosure. The same suspension mechanism allows stacking AX3210P, AX1118SP,
AX2265P and AX1115SP by simply inverting the elements

AXIOM models AX3210P, AX1118SP, AX2265P and AX1115SP feature a suspension system inte-
grated into their frames. The only element that needs to be added is the flying bar, KPTAX3210
models AX3210P and AX1118SP, KPTAX2265 for the models AX2265P and AX1115SP. The AX3210P,
AX1118SP, AX2265P and AX1115SP integral suspension system features two coupling cams in the front
of the speaker and two slotted bars in the back. Figure 5.1 shows an AX3210P element: coupling cams
and slotted bars are highlighted red. Coupling cams in the front do not require any adjustment, whereas
the slotted bars in the back are inserted in a U-shaped frame which features a series of numbered holes.
Sliding the slotted bar in the U-shaped frame of the next loudspeaker and inserting a 94AXMSP1 cou-
pling pin in one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the relative angle between two adjacent
loudspeakers in the array column. The AX2265P is similar, please check the section describing arrays
of AX2265P.

5.1 Suspending AX3210P and AX1118SP Systems

5.1.1 The suspension of AX3210P systems with KPTAX3210 flying bar
As stated before, the only accessory necessary for the suspension of a series of AX3210P enclosures in
an array is the KPTAX3210 flying bar. In this manual, the load capacity of the coupling point – or points –
which will suspend the array are understood to be mechanically verified to support the array with a safety
factor allowed by current regulations. KPTAX3210 flying bar can suspend up to 24 AX3210P systems
with a safety factor of 7:1.
Choosing the array configuration
Because of the great variety of possible configurations, AXIOM systems are provided with a software
(LAC) which allows the simulation of the array configuration, therefore calculating the barycentre and
the anchoring points.

The procedures needed to stack the system are slightly less fluid than those necessary to suspend it.

A short frame version of the flying bar (KPTAX3210S) is also available. It is best suited for fixed installations and can suspend
up to 8 AX3210P systems.
