SB18/Kara mixed array mounting procedure:
Put the bottom SB18 on the ground (front grill logo upside) and
(p.115) procedure WITHOUT using the M-BUMP/M-BAR/M-JACK platform.
SB18 standalone array mounting procedure:
Put a rst SB18 on the ground with feet (and front grill logo)
downside. Put a second SB18 onto the rst one and link both enclosures by applying step
(p.70). Repeat the
procedure until all SB18 composing the array are rigged. While installing follow the step
(p.72) indication.
Platform stacked arrays
Any SB18/Kara platform stacked array must be modeled before installation so as to ensure acoustical conformity. This
which will assist the user to:
• Determine the number of required Kara enclosures.
• Calculate the inter-enclosure angles.
A platform stacked array can be composed of a maximum of 2 SB18/6 Kara or 4 SB18 enclosures along with all
(p.26)).
The platform must be installed in rear extension conguration if a Kara array is intended to be rigged with a
Stacking platform conguration
(p.195)).
The platform must be installed in front extension conguration if a Kara array is intended to be rigged with a
Stacking platform conguration
(p.195)) and a straight shape (all inter-enclosure
angles are close to 0°).
The Kara, SB18, and M-BUMP fully integrated rigging systems allow assembling the array with no need for any external
accessory. The following rst procedure describes how to mount a vertical SB18/Kara or SB18 platform stacked array.
The second procedure describes how to disassemble the array.
