Galeo S with Galeo S Flying Cradle
The Galeo S Flying Cradle can be used to fly up to a maximum of 20 Galeo S line array units. The
actually permitted number of elements is, however, dependent on the vertical angle (down tilt) of
the array and the pin point in use. The vertical angle is dependent on the length of the array, the
pin point and the curving of the array. The Cradle is always at an angle of 0° to the uppermost
Galeo S element, so therefore the Cradle angle (or Frame angle) is automatically the vertical angle
of the uppermost element in the array.
It is recommended to simulate the desired system configuration using the EASE Focus 3 software
and use the following table to check whether the combination of the number of elements, the pin
point and the maximum downtilt is permissible.

Example: For a flown array of 16 Galeo S units, the pin point must be 22 or lower if the curving of
the array results in a vertical angle of +/- 5°. If the curving results in a vertical angle of between 5°
and 15° (positive or negative), the pin point can be up to 24.
5.2
Galeo S stacked on a Flying Cradle
If a Galeo S array is stacked on a Flying Cradle mounted with a flange (with M20 thread) on a
speaker stand or speaker pole, the maximum permissible number of units is 4. If necessary, the
system has to be secured against tipping over.
