1.6 ATM X-Line Grid Details

ATM Flyware manufactures the X-Line Grid, shown in Figure 7, specifically for the X-Line loudspeaker systems. The grid is completely compatible with the X-Line systems. There is rigging track on the front of the grid that matches the track on the front of the X-Line enclosures - with the exception that there is only one attachment position on the grid instead of six as on the enclosure. The Electro-Voice Xvsg front chain rigging straps are used to attach the front of the top enclosure in a column to the grid.
