Rigging/Derigging
3.1 Preparing the setup
General
Check the acoustical and mechanical setup using ArrayCalc and
prepare enough printouts for each array. Alternatively, the d&b
ArrayCalc Viewer app can be used for this purpose.
The plan enables the riggers to set up the suspension points, the
securing points, and the chain hoists.
When on site, first:
▪ Clear the working areas and ensure there is enough space to
set up and lift the array.
▪ Check that the hoists are exactly in the specified position.
▪ Ensure the chains are not twisted.
▪ Prepare the cables and link cables according to the number of
amplifier channels and cabinets used.
Inspections before setup
Before setting up the array, carry out a visual inspection of all
system components for faults. This also includes the loudspeakers
and in particular the rigging parts of the cabinets (Front and
Splay/Rear links).
Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Please also follow the instructions given in
3.2 Order of assembly
Due to the compact size of the A-Series cabinets and the maximum
number of four cabinets that can be flown, the assembly may be
carried out either suspended or on the ground. The following
procedure refers to the suspended assembly.
1. Prepare the first cabinet
1. Extend both Front links.
2. At the rear, release the Locking pin of the Splay link.
3. Fold out the Splay link.
4. Pull out the link to the "Extended" length and turn the extension
tube head counter clockwise by 90°.
