Rigging procedures
Using KARA-MINIBU
Modeling and safety
A Kara array must be stacked onto a KARA-MINIBU/KARA-MINIBUEX platform (platform stacked array).
Any platform stacked array must be modeled before installation so as to ensure acoustical conformity. This can be done
using L-Acoustics
which will assist the user to:
• Determine the number of required Kara enclosures.
• Calculate the inter-enclosure angles.
A platform stacked array requires to be installed on a perfectly horizontal and regular surface. It can be
composed of a maximum of 6 KARA enclosures along with all loudspeaker cables (refer to
(p.26)) within the following setup safety limits:
• If the Kara array is at (all inter-enclosure angles are close to 0°), the platform must be installed in front extension
Stacking platform conguration
(p.197)) and the site angle of the bottom Kara must be set
within the range given in the table below (refer to
(p.198) for angle settings):
Platform stacked Kara array safe congurations
Number of Kara
Bottom Kara authorized angle range
1 - 3
From -15° to +5°
4
From -11° to +5°
5 - 6
From -7.5° to +5°
• If the Kara array is strongly curved (all inter-enclosure angles are close to 10°), the platform must be installed in rear
extension conguration (refer to
Stacking platform conguration
(p.197)).
The Kara, KARA-MINIBU, and KARA-MINIBUEX fully integrated rigging systems allow assembling the array with no need
for any external accessory. The following rst procedure describes how to assemble a vertical Kara platform stacked
array. The second procedure describes how to disassemble the array.
Array mounting
About this task
All along the procedure:
Strictly follow the sequence of the successive steps.
Systematically verify that each BLP is fully inserted.
Systematically verify that each bolt is fully driven on the KARA-MINIBUEX.
For clarity purposes the loudspeaker cabling procedure will not be described.
The loudspeaker cables will not be represented on the gures.
Required tools
• electric screwdriver with torque selector
• 6 mm hex bit6 mm hex bit
• 13 mm hex key
