MINA OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

above them, whether they are flown or ground-

stacked, and other factors. MAPP Online Pro is rec-

ommended for determining the optimum splay angles

for loudspeakers and coverage pattern of the array.

NOTE: Optimal acoustical performance for

MINA arrays is achieved by using the appropri-

ate number of units and splay angles to meet the

coverage requirements of the venue. Use the design

guidelines for MINA arrays in Chapter 4, “Line Arrays

and System Integration” along with MAPP Online Pro

to verify designs and rigging configurations.

MG-MINA GRID

The MG-MINA grid flies MINA arrays of up to 12 cabinets at

a 7:1 safety ratio, or up to 16 cabinets at a 5:1 safety ratio.

The grid, which can also be used for groundstacking arrays,

accommodates a variety of pickup configurations with four

side pickup points and 11 center pickup points.

NOTE: For complete information on configura-

tion and load ratings for the MG-MINA, as well

as other MINA rigging accessories, refer to the

MG-MINA Assembly Guide (PN 05.207.101.01) avail-

able at www.meyersound.com.

The MG-MINA grid has four captive links, two per side, that

attach to the top MINA in flown arrays. The configuration of

the links and orientation of the grid (for either maximum

uptilt or maximum downtilt) determine the angle of the

attached MINA. The grid links are easily stowed for transport

and groundstacked configurations.

The MG-MINA grid includes eight (1/4 by 0.90-inch) quick-

release pins: four for securing the four grid links, and four for

securing MINA groundstacks to the top of the grid.

CAUTION: Always use the quick-release pins

included with the MG-MINA grid to secure its

links, as well as to secure groundstacked MINAs to

the grid. Do not use the quick-release pins included

with MINA in the grid as they are shorter and will not

lock in place.

TIP: The MG-MINA grid can travel installed on

top of MINA stacks.

MG-MINA Grid Orientations for Flown

Configurations

The orientation of the MG-MINA grid determines the maxi-

mum downtilt and maximum uptilt for flown arrays.

MG-MINA Oriented for Maximum Array Downtilt

When the MG-MINA grid is oriented with the links toward

the front of the flown loudspeakers, the grid provides maxi-

mum downtilt for the flown array (when tilting the grid). The

label on the MG-MINA shows this configuration as “Maxi-

mum Downtilt.”

With the maximum downtilt orientation, the MINA at the top

of the array can be attached to the grid at 0 and –5 degree

(downtilt).
