CHAPTER 5
The MG-2D grid provides additional functionality, including transitioning to an M2D or M2D-Sub array from the bottom of a/an:
M3D or M3D-Sub loudspeaker (MTK-2D transition kit required); or
MILO loudspeaker (MTB-2D/M transition bar kit required)
MG-1D Multipurpose Grid
The MG-1D multipurpose grid (Figure 6.4) was originally designed to allow M1D and M1D-Sub loudspeakers to be flown or ground stacked. However, it can be used to fly M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers, when the flexibility of the MG-2D grid is not required.
Figure 6.4. MG-1D multipurpose grid
Up to seven M2D loudspeakers (or the equivalent weight of M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers) may be suspended from single or multiple rigging points of appropriate rating, with a safety factor of 7:1.
The MG-1D grid provides additional functionality, such as transitioning from the bottom of an M2D and/or M2D-Sub array to:
An M1D and/or M1D-Sub array;
One UPA-1P compact wide coverage loudspeaker;
Three UPA-2P compact narrow coverage loudspeakers;
Two MSL-4 horn-loaded long-throw loudspeakers; or
Two DS-4P horn-loaded mid-bass loudspeakers
CAUTION: The grid must never be suspended from the extension frame when
used in this configuration.
