Rigging/derigging

WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or

damage to material!

Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and

possible tipping over.
Observe the maximum number of cabinets permitted. This is

particularly important when setting up mixed ground stacks.

3.1  Preparing the setup

General
Check the acoustical and mechanical setup using ArrayCalc.

When on site first:
▪ Clear the working areas and ensure there is enough space to

set up the ground stack.

▪ Prepare the cables and link cables according to the number of

amplifier channels and cabinets used.

Inspections before setup
Before setting up the ground stack, carry out a visual inspection of

all system components for faults. This also includes the

loudspeakers and in particular the rigging parts of the cabinets

(Front and Splay/Rear links).

Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.

Please also follow the instructions given in 

Þ

 Chapter 4 "Care and

maintenance" on page 15.
