  • Page 2 The VARIA Concept The VARIA approach is based on the use of 3 different shape cabinets each having a vertical coverage pattern that is complementary to the cabinet shape. Thus, the VA/VAX101-7 has 7.5º...
  • Page 3 Point Source Array Modules The VARIA Hardware Concept The array modules have heavy metal side channels and each module is provided with 2 heavy joining bars (one for each side) and associated quick release pins so it can easily be stacked with similar modules For example , -7 modules with other -7 modules.
  • Page 4 VA/VAX101-7 Array Module VA / VAX15S Subwoofer “Stand Alone” Applications VARIA array modules are equipped with dual Met- ric M10 attachment points top and bottom so they can be easily flown using eye bolts. Multi-angle pole sockets bottom mounted and side mounted flying hardware add further to their versatility.
  • Page 5 Point Source Array Modules Stand Alone Applications (cont) The array modules and the subwoofers are joined together with heavy-duty tie bars and quick-disconnect pins that provide quick and easy assembly along with metal-to-metal reliability. Ground stacks of this type can easily handle up to 3 array modules and two subwoofers.
  • Page 6 The VARIA approach is based on the use of 3 different shape cabinets each having a vertical coverage pattern that is complementary to the cabinet shape.
  • Page 7 Point Source Array Modules Assembling Vertical Line Arrays 1. Attach the RHANG101LA Flybar to the top cabinet using the quick release pins. Note the bridle construction which allows you to move the suspension bar laterally and adjust the array’s tilt (aiming angle). Move the bridle toward the rear of the cabinets for more tilt.
  • Page 8 Point Source Array Modules Assembling Vertical Line Arrays (continued) One of the situations you may run into is you want to use a number of 7 degree modules at the top of a tall vertical array , but the 7 degree tilt provided when two -7 modules are tight packed provides to much tilt.

    Note that the RHANG-VA101H flying hardware accommodates only the 22.5 degree VA / VAX101-22 Typical Horizontal Array You should not attempt to use it with the other Varia array modules. Warning: The actual rigging of loudspeakers suspended from a truss or from a ceiling is a serious undertaking that is beyond the scope of this document.

That is why the VAX series non-powered ar- ray modules include a rear mounted high frequency level control.
