Rigging a KARA downfill array to the K1 array
6.4.1
Modeling and safety
Any system must be modeled before installation so as to ensure acoustical and mechanical conformity. This can be
done using
L-ACOUSTICS
®
SOUNDVISION Software
[3.4] which will assist the user to:
•
Determine the number of required KARA enclosures.
•
Calculate the array site angle and the inter-enclosure angles.
•
Check the mechanical conformity of the system.
The KARA-DOWNK1 can nominally fly a maximum of 6 KARA enclosures under a K1 array along with
all loudspeaker cables (refer to the
KARA User manual
[3.4]). However, this maximum number can
decrease in line with array curvature.
ALWAYS refer to the mechanical data and warning indications provided in SOUNDVISION Software
(
Mechanical Data
section) to verify the mechanical conformity of the system before installation.
The KARA and KARA-DOWNK1 fully integrated rigging systems allow assembling the array with no need for any
external accessory. The following procedure describes how to mount a vertical array of six KARA under a K1 array by
successively adding two 3-KARA arrays, called ARRAY#1 and ARRAY#2 in the order of appearance. The second
procedure describes how to remove the array.
6.4.2
Array mounting
All along the procedure:
STRICTLY follow the sequence of the successive steps.
SYSTEMATICALLY ensure that each BLP is fully inserted.
For clarity purposes the loudspeaker cabling procedure will not be described.
The loudspeaker cables will not be represented on the figures.
Use a strain relief to avoid mechanical stress at the connector locations due to cable weight.
1.
Place a full KARA flight-case at the rigging location and remove the lid. Direct the front face of the 3-KARA array
towards the audience. In the following, the array will be designated as ARRAY#1 and the enclosures as KARA#1
to KARA#3 from top to bottom (see Figure 44).
