UPQ-D SERIES OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THE MPA-UPQ ARRAY ADAPTER
The MPA-UPQ array adapter provides a solid connection
between UPQ-D Series loudspeakers to form horizontal and
vertical arrays of up to three loudspeakers. The six M10 screw
holes at the front of the adapter plate are used to adjust the
distance between the loudspeakers to achieve the desired
splay angle (from 34° to 50°) and coverage. The adapter plate
has three rows of shackle holes that offer the flexibility of flying
horizontal and vertical arrays, as well as single loudspeakers.
The MPA-UPQ array adapter kit (PN 40.185.054.01) includes
two plates and eight M10 knobs and washers. A single kit can
create an array of two UPQ-D Series loudspeakers; two kits
are required for an array of three loudspeakers.
Arrays are assembled by attaching the array adapter plates to
the top and bottom plates of the UPQ-D Series loudspeakers
and securing them with the included M10 knobs and washers.
CAUTION: The MPA-UPQ array adapter
supports a maximum of three UPQ-D Series
loudspeakers in an array.
Suspending Single Loudspeakers Vertically
with the MPA-UPQ
A single MPA-UPQ array adapter plate can be used to
suspend a single UPQ-D Series loudspeaker vertically. The
adapter plate attaches to the top center of the loudspeaker
with the included M10 knobs. Shackles attach to the adapter
plate’s middle shackle holes (oriented up).
TIP: A second MPA-UPQ array adapter plate
attached to the bottom can be used to pull back
for severe downtilt angles using the last shackle hole.
