IMPORTANT!
At the top of each side panel of the Q-SUB cabinet are two sockets one
above the other. For flown set ups the lower sockets have to be used, set
to “0 TO FRAME“ for the first cabinet of the column. The upper socket
creates an offset of -6° in respect to the scale on the Splay link. It is used
to connect Q-SUB and Q1 cabinets in ground stacked arrays. With the Q
Front links rotated by 180° this allows a negative splay angle up to -6°.
Do not apply this to flown arrays.

accept next cabinet

The next loudspeaker should be added in the same manner; first attach
two Q Front links and two Q Splay links to the bottom of the lowest
cabinet of the column and then lift the next cabinet into place.
First connect the Front links. With the Splay links select the hole position
according to the splay angles derived from the ArrayCalc simulation.
Q-SUB cabinets are generally connected using the 0° splay angle
setting.
Repeat this procedure until the column is complete. Connect alll
speaker cables when the cabinets are within reach.

Alternative set up
Fig. 20: Array assembly using the chain hoist
to lift the cabinets
Using the chain hoist to pick up the cabinets allows a single person to set
up complete columns (without Q-SUBs). Proceed as follows:
Attach the Q Flying frame to the hoist motor and attach the Front link
and Splay links to the Q Flying frame as explained in the previous
section.
Place the Q1 loudspeaker with its face on the ground and lower the
hoist until the Splay links can be attached to the cabinet (8° position
“0 TO FRAME” to the Q Flying frame). All following cabinets should
be set to the required splay angle.
Lift the loudspeaker using the hoist until it is hanging free and then
manually lift and rotate the cabinet to attach the Front links.
Connect Front and Splay links to the bottom of the cabinet and add the
next one in the same manner.
