4.4 Groundstacking CLa21 on SW-18VR

A SW18-VR/CLa21 mixed array or a SW-18VR standalone array can be stacked directly

on the ground (ground stacked array) or onto an THV21-18VR Grid. Figure 62 shows a mixed
array of each type.

Fig. 33 Examples of SW-18VR/CLa21 groundstacked arrays

1. Place a THV21-18VR grid at the rigging location and directed towards the

audience.

2. Link a first SW-18VR to the THV21-18VR as follows:

a. Place a SW-18VR at the rigging location and remove the dolly board.
b. Orient the front grill towards the audience or backwards.

Orient all SW-18VR composing the array towards the audience to obtain an
omnidirectional acoustic pattern. Orient one SW-18VR every three backwards to obtain a
cardioid acoustic pattern (refer to the SW-18VR User manual)

3. Set-up the THV21-18VR guide link arms on the desired angle position.
4. Place SW-18VR on the THV21-18VR grid by aligning the four guide link slot with

the THV21-18VR guide link arms.

5. Connect the magnetic quick-locks pins to the THV21-18VR rigging point.
