Floor Mounted Systems (continued)
Ground Stacks
Point source line array modules and their matching subwoofers
can also be ground stacked using the subwoofers as a mounting
base for the array modules.
Ground stacks can include as many as 3 array modules plus one
or two matching subwoofers.
Safety considerations are always a factor in any venue and
consideration must be given to the strength and stability of the
surface / platform on which the ground stack will be placed.
To assemble a ground stack;
1. Place the subwoofer that will be used as the base into posi-
tion.
2. Place the next cabinet into position on top of the subwoofer and align the connecting hardware
channels.
3. If the second cabinet is another subwoofer remove the quick disconnect pins from the top
subwoofer and use the knurled knobs to move the joining bars from the top subwoofer down into the
lower subwoofer.
If the second cabinet is an array module remove the upper quick disconnect pins from the sub-
woofer’s joining channels and use the knurled knobs to move the joining bars up from the subwoofer
into the array module.
NOTE: The rule on joining bars is that when joining like cabinets (two array module modules
or two subwoofers), move the joining bars from the top cabinet down into the lower cabinet,
When joining a subwoofer and array module move the subwoofers joining bars into the array
module
.
Flying Arrays
CF101LA and CFX101LA arrays suspend from a ceiling or truss as easily as they ground stack.
The subwoofers which were used as a mounting base for the ar-
ray cabinets in ground stacked arrays now becomes the suspen-
sion platform for the array and are placed at the top of the array.
Refer to array photo at the top of the next page.
The Subwoofers are equipped with rubber feet that fit into
matching cups in the top of the lower subwoofer when two units
are stacked together. As a result when the subwoofers are flown
in an array such as the one shown above, the subwoofer has to
turned upside down. Otherwise the feet prevent the subwoofer and array module from being joined
together.
