Suspending Single Loudspeakers Horizontally
with the MPA-UPQ
Two MPA-UPQ array adapter plates can be used to suspend
a single UPQ-D Series loudspeaker horizontally. The adapter
plates attach to the top and bottom edges of the loudspeaker
with the included M10 knobs. Shackles attach to the adapter
plate’s side shackle holes (oriented up).
Horizontal Arrays with the MPA-UPQ
MPA-UPQ horizontal arrays are constructed by placing
adapter plates on the tops and bottoms of the loudspeakers
between each loudspeaker. The adapter plates are oriented
with the middle shackle row up.
Vertical Arrays with the MPA-UPQ
MPA-UPQ vertical arrays are constructed by placing adapter
plates on the tops and bottoms of the loudspeakers between
each loudspeaker. The adapter plates are oriented with the
middle shackle row in.
NOTE: For a list of available splay angles for
arrayed UPQ-D Series loudspeakers, see
“MPA-UPQ Splay Angles for Arrayed Loudspeakers”
on page 29.
NOTE: Optimal acoustical performance for a
UPQ-D Series array is achieved by using the
adequate number of units as well as selecting the
specific angles between cabinets to fill the
requirements of the application. In general, larger
angles can create a hole in the coverage and smaller
angles can create too much interaction.
NOTE: MAPP, covered in greater detail in
Chapter 6, is the tool of choice to enable users
to make accurate and comprehensive predictions for
optimal coverage(s) during the design phase.
