1.3 XLVC Rigging Accessory Details

Several accessories for rigging the XLVC loudspeaker systems are shown in Figure 5. This figure includes the center of gravity and rigging dimensions for the accessories and includes sufficient information to calculate the vertical angle of XLVC enclosures that are rigged together in a column, as well as the weight distribution throughout the column.

XLD GRID

The XLD GRID is a grid used for suspending a column of XLD281 or XS212 loudspeaker systems overhead and is shown in Figure 5a. The grid consists of two sidearm assemblies and two spreader bar assemblies. The front of the sidearm has a rectangular tube identical to that on the loudspeaker systems. The hinge bar from the top loudspeaker system is inserted into the grid tube and pinned into place using the same quick-release pins from the loudspeaker. The rear of the sidearm has channel with a vertical slot that is similar to that on the loudspeaker systems. The swing arm from the top loudspeaker system is inserted into the grid tube and pinned into place using the same quick-release pins from the loudspeaker.

The grid sidearms are then attached to either one or two spreader bars. Two spreader bars are used when two front-to-back pickup points are required. One spreader bar is used when two side- to-side pickup points are required or one center pickup point is required.

Quick-release pins are used to secure the sidearms to the spreader bar. The width of the assembly matches the width of the XLD281 and XS212 loudspeaker rigging.
