CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING

TIP: The tilt for the MG-MINA and the array
hung below it can be further tilted by using
chain motors, or differing lengths of steel or
SpanSets.

MG-MINA Oriented for Maximum Array Uptilt

When the MG-MINA grid is oriented with the links toward
the rear of the flown loudspeakers, the grid provides maxi-
mum uptilt for the flown array (when tilting the grid). The
label on the MG-MINA shows this configuration as “Maxi-
mum Uptilt.”
With the maximum uptilt orientation, the MINA at the top of
the array can be attached to the grid at –5 and –10 degree
(downtilt).
TIP: The tilt for the MG-MINA and the array
hung below it can be further tilted by using
chain motors, or differing lengths of steel or
SpanSets.

Groundstacking MINAs with the MG-MINA

The MG-MINA grid can also be used for groundstacking up
to six MINAs. When used for groundstacking, the grid
should be oriented so the center of gravity for the stacked
loudspeakers is near the center of the grid. The MINA at the
bottom of the stack attaches directly to the grid with its
GuideALinks and is secured with the quick-release pins
included with the grid. The configuration of the GuideALinks
for the attached MINA determines its tilt, which can be from
+6 degrees (uptilt) to –5 degrees (downtilt).
CAUTION: To secure groundstacked arrays,
particularly in outdoor situations, use tie downs
or weights with the grid and/or a safety system on the
array.
