The MLA ground stack bar has three holes, one which locates in the flying frame and two holes labelled 'A' and 'B' which are used
in the rear rigging bracket holes to achieve the desired up or down tilt. In this this example hole A is used in the 4° hole to achieve
the aim angle of 2°. The bottom angle is also shown, clearly in most ground stack applications you could easily check the angle
of the top cabinet but you have the option of checking the bottom cabinet if for some reason the top cabinet cannot be easily or
safely reached, a system stacked on top of several subs or a high piece of staging for example.
In the above example the nearest aim matches what is achievable with the ground stack bar in the appropriate hole therefore
the Design Aim is automatically green. If this was not the case there would be exactly the same option available as with a flown
system of using the nearest angle available which will adjust the array angle ready for the EQ optimisation
MLA Compact
The rigging options for MLA Compact are almost identical to MLA as it has exactly the same constraints; a maximum of 24 flown
cabinets and 6 ground stacked. The rigging windows therefore look pretty much the same. A flown system appears like this;-
