Aspect TA-500 Flying Systems

To take full advantage of the very precise dispersion properties of the Aspect system, two types of rigging system have been developed: a fully-integrated touring flying system which allows clusters to be rigged quickly and easily with an absolute minumum of additional external hardware; an an external flying system designed for use in fixed installations.

The flying systems are inherently safe, flexible and simple to use. The rigging design allows the creation of clusters and arrays that can be assembled quickly and with a minimum number of crew, and with full control of the vertical angles between enclosures and their vertical inclination.

Horizontal Coverage

Because the Polyhorn’s design dramatically reduces the acoustic energy outside of the specified 50° horizontal dispersion pattern, it is recommended that Aspect TA-500 enclosures always be arrayed in a smooth even curve, resulting in an array angle of 50° between boxes. Based on this assumption it is an easy job to assess how many columns, and therefore which particular combination of flybars, will be needed to achieve the required coverage.

Vertical Coverage

Vertical coverage is dictated by the physical dimensions of the room and the location of the audience spaces. The number of boxes required in a vertical column is therefore determined by a number of factors including the trim height of the cluster, the vertical coverage you are trying to achieve, and the distance or projection required.
