AL Flying frame / ALi Mounting frame

1.2  Intended use
The Z5455 AL Flying frame / Z5459 ALi Mounting frame must

only be used in conjunction with the d&b A-Series AL60/AL90 and

ALi60/ALi90 cabinets, as described in this manual.

A-Series vertical arrays and ArrayCalc
A vertical A-Series array can consist of up to four loudspeakers for

mobile and installed applications where the captive rigging

components and the normal mounting accessories are to be used.

For installed applications where more than four loudspeakers are

required in a vertical array, ArrayCalc allows the prediction of

arrays with up to six A-Series loudspeakers.

Note: Please note that arrays of more than 4 loudspeakers can

only be mounted using custom cabinets and custom-designed

mounting accessories and require the array to be driven with

ArrayProcessing. For these special applications, please consult

with your d&b sales partner.
