CAUTION: SUSPENDING SPEAKERS PRESENTS A RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE USE CAUTION TO ASSURE THAT MOUNTING SURFACES ARE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING AT LEAST
FIVE TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER AND MOUNTING APPARATUS. USE ONLY LOAD RATED HARDWARE. ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL WHEN IMPLEMENTING OVERHEAD SUSPENSION.
The large array frame’s maximum array is
The rigging system for WideLine has been engineered to achieve a minimum of the industry standard strength ratio of 5:1 with 24 enclosures on the large array frame or 8 enclosures on the small array frame. Palos Verdes Engineering has cer- tified the mechanical calculations, and destructive tests have been performed by ATM Flyware.
WideLine enclosures use a
Front Articulated Joint (Knuckle) Hardware
Expose the end of the articulated joint by locating the joint’s retaining screw pro- truding from the front of the receiver tube and sliding it upward. The front captive joint will slide upward from the enclosure’s receiver tube.
The exposed end of the articulated joint can now be inserted into the adjacent enclosure’s receiver tube and locked into position by a locking pin. This is repeated for each side of the enclosure. Then the rear link blade can be rotated into position and pinned at the chosen degree increment.
Rear Link (Angle Adjust) Hardware
The rear link is stored with the link folded between the sides of the block. To expose the link, remove the
The rear link is marked with a thin, white line at the “normal” (0°) position and with a “+3” at the +3° position.
