Electro-Voice manual Simplified XLC Rigging-Rating Guidelines

Page 18

These guidelines provide a simplified rating for typical arrays based on the:

1.Vertical angle of each enclosure

2.Total weight of that enclosure plus all of the enclosures and rigging hung below it.

3.Angles of the force components on the front button bars and the rigging frames relative to the enclosures.

4.Angles of the force components on the rear swing arms, quick-release pins and rigging frames relative to the enclosures.
