CHAPTER 6: QUICKFLY RIGGING

The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers feature Meyer Sound’s QuickFly rigging system with rugged, reliable and deceptively simple components that remain captive, in transit. QuickFly rigging facilitates constructing rigid, ground-stacked or flown M2D-Sub arrays, and eases integration of M2D-Sub and M2D loudspeakers in unitary, full-range curvilinear arrays.

This chapter gives an overview of M2D and M2D-Sub rigging accessories. For complete information on how to set up and use the rigging accessories, refer to Meyer Sound’s assembly guides at www.meyersound.com/products.

CAUTION: All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance with local,

state, federal, and industry regulations. It is the owner’s and/or user’s responsibility to evaluate the reliability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging should be carried out only by experienced professionals.

Fitted as standard on all M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers, the MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub rigging frames (Figure 6.1) also accommodates all the parts necessary to couple an M2D and M2D-Sub vertical array.

MG-2D MULTIPURPOSE GRID

The MG-2D multipurpose grid (Figure 6.3) allows M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers to be flown or ground stacked.

Figure 6.1. MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub Rigging Frames

The MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub rigging frames utilize CamLinks to connect adjacent cabinets, allowing vertical splay to be set from 0° to 7° using quick release pins (Figure 6.2). The CamLinks are easily reconfigured to allow arrays to be hung with the horns on the left or right side. The MRF- 2D and MRF-2D-Sub frames provide a rigid angle between cabinets, maintaining the predetermined vertical splay as the array is tilted up or down.

TIP: See Meyer Sound’s assembly guides on www.meyersound.com for more information

on how to set up the M2D and M2D-Sub rigging accessories.

An adjustable rear extension frame provides flexibility for severe up-tilt and down-tilt in flown applications as well as increasing the stability in ground-stacked applications. Up to 16 M2D loudspeakers (or the equivalent weight of M2D and M2D-Sub cabinets) may be suspended from single or multiple rigging points of appropriate rating, with a safety factor of 7:1.
