CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING
MINA loudspeakers are compatible with Meyer Sound’s
QuickFly® rigging system, a comprehensive collection of rig-
ging, flying, and mounting hardware. MINA’s captive
GuideALinks allow cabinets to be linked at various splay
angles for flying, groundstacking, and transport. The heavy-
duty GuideALinks allow for easy adjustment of array tilts,
eliminating the need for pull-black straps in flown configura-
tions. M6 attachment points provide connections to the
optional MYA-MINA mounting yoke and MUB-MINA U-
bracket.
This chapter gives an overview of MINA rigging options and
rigging accessories. For complete information on rigging
hardware, including configuration and load ratings, refer to
the MG-MINA Assembly Guide (PN 05.207.101.01) available
at www.meyersound.com.
Important Safety Considerations!
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers and subwoof-
ers, the following precautions should always be observed:
■All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
■Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
■Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.
■Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
where the loudspeaker will be installed.
■Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite® on eyebolt
threads and safety cables.
■Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.
MINA GuideALinks
Each MINA loudspeaker is equipped with four captive
GuideALinks that link to adjacent units in flown and ground-
stacked arrays. Located at the bottom corners of the end
plates, the GuideALinks extend and retract with knobs and
are secured with quick-release pins.
When linking MINAs, two quick-release pins are required for
each GuideALink: one to secure the position of the link in
the top unit, and one to secure the link to the linked bottom
unit. Eight (1/4 by 0.53-inch) quick-release pins are included
with each MINA.
CAUTION: Make sure to secure the MINA
GuideALinks with the included quick-release
pins. GuideALink knobs are for extending and retract-
ing the links and should not be used to support the
weight of the loudspeaker when fully extended (with-
out the pins).
