Procedure for Flying a Column of Flex Array Loudspeakers
As described previously, the task of flying Flex Array cabinets is greatly simplified by the use
of the FT-600/3 transport case which allows three mid/high cabinets to be transported, pre-
rigged and lifted out of the case in one block.
1. Having established the location of the rigging points, position the FB-600 flybar directly
underneath a fly point and check that the intended position of the cluster will give the
required coverage. Attach a chain motor to the lift point using the shackle provided. At
this point the lift point should be traversed so that it is approximately within the front half
of its travel.
2. Lift the flybar and position a FT-600/3 transport case underneath. Engage the flybar drop
links into the flygear of the first mid/high cabinet. Secure the drop links with the ball-lock
pins that are attached to each side of the first loudspeaker cabinet.
3. Lift the flybar together with the first three cabinets sufficiently to allow a further FT-600/3
transport case with three mid/high cabinets to be positioned underneath.
4. Locate the third cabinet‟s drop links into the flygear of the fourth cabinet and secure with
two BLP-8/15 ball-lock pins. Secure the rear drop link with a BLP-10/35 ball-lock pin.
5. Lift the flybar and continue to add cabinets either in blocks of three or singly as required
to complete the specified loudspeaker cluster.
6. Adjust the angles of the lower cabinets as you go, according to the cluster design; it is
much easier to do it now (lifting the weight of one or two cabinets by hand in order to
release the drop link and change its position) rather than trying to adjust cabinets in the
middle of a larger cluster.
7. Connect the NL8 speaker cables up the cabinets as you go along as well; they may not be
reachable later on. The cables will run neatly into the cable recesses in each speaker
cabinet.
8. The lowest cabinet‟s drop link is not used and should be parked in the rear woodwork
recess with a captive ball-lock pin as shown here.
