Installing the Contour Rigging System on the CT212
In order to fly the CT212 unit from a truss or batten, the speaker enclosure
needs to be equipped with the Contour Rigging System. If the CT212
unit is not pre-equipped with the Contour Rigging System, this can be
mounted by the user.
Rigging points for the Contour rigging System are provided on both the
"bottom" (audio connector end) and the "top" of the CT212. The vertical
coverage of the CT212 is symmetrical and, therefore, acoustically it
makes no difference which of these ends is positioned upwards. This
allows the user choose on which end to install the Contour Rigging
System depending on the convenience of the cable runs. For example,
in pole-mounted applications, the Rigging System should always be
installed on the audio connector end to allow a short cable patch to the
Active Speaker Tube that supports it. Also in flown applications from
trusses or battens, it will generally be the best choice again to install the
Rigging System on the end with the audio connectors, as it is common
practice to run the audio cables down from the truss or batten. However,
certain circumstances could require shorter cable runs from beneath, in
which case it could be preferable to fly the speaker with the input /link
connectors on the bottom.
Attention: For the installation of the Contour Rigging System
on the CT28 or CT212 enclosure, the use of medium-strength
thread-locking compound is REQUIRED on all user-installed
screws.
