Milo 120 As Downfill In Milo/Milo 120 Curvilinear Arrays - Meyer Sound MILO 120 Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 7
The front AlignaLinks include two sets of holes: The top set
is used for rigging while the bottom set is for securing the
optional MILO 120-I insert (Figures 7.3 and 7.4). This posi-
tion can also be used when transporting cabinets with the
MCF-MILO caster frame, as shown in Figure 7.5.

Figure 7.3.
NOTE: Due to the larger splay angles and
distance between the front of the enclosures,
the use of the MILO 120-I insert is recommended
between cabinets. The MILO 120-I insert promotes
better acoustic coupling between cabinets in the
vertical plane, as well as providing an improved
aesthetic appearance.

Curvilinear Arrays
The MILO 120 loudspeaker's acoustical characteristics and
rigging are designed to facilitate seamless integration when
used as downfill in MILO/MILO 120 curvilinear arrays.
To ensure a smooth transition, there must be between
Front hole not used
13 (optimal for most applications) and 15 degrees of
splay between the last MILO standard and the top-most
MILO 120 cabinet in the array. Use the MILO 120 custom
AlignaLinks between the two cabinets to achieve these
angles.
Front AlignaLinks in transport position
NOTE: The front rigging hole in the rigging
frame is not used when the MILO 120 front
Alignalink is employed.
NOTE: Splay angles greater than 15 degrees
between MILO standard and MILO 120
create a hole in the coverage, and angles of less
than 13 degrees can create too much interaction.
TIP: No additional AlignaLinks are required
when attaching MILO 120 cabinets
underneath a MILO standard array. Simply swap
the AlignaLinks of the last MILO standard cabinet
for the AlignaLinks of the last MILO 120 cabinet in
the array. The standard links (from the last MILO
standard on the array) can be used to secure the
last MILO 120 cabinet to the MCF-MILO caster
frame for transport.
