All SlingShot models feature an 8-pole Speakon® plug. The drivers in the MS1262 and MS118
are connected as follows:
The 1+, 1- pins are linked on all terminals to enable linking between subs and top-boxes.
Always use high quality speaker cable. Cables with high capacitance, high inductance and high
impedance have a negative influence on sound quality as well as amplifier performance and
reliability. We recommend the special 8-pole Mach speaker cable, which is a professional 4
mm
2
rubber cable with low capacitance, inductance, and impedance.
Very long cables heavily influence sound quality and amplifier stability.

The SlingShot flying system is fast, flexible and safe. There are four flying tracks on the
SlingShot cabinets: two in front, and two in back at the center that are connected by an internal
steel bracket. All flying tracks use “Double Stud and Ring” locking fittings (P/N 93944000),
which have a certified load of 2400 kilograms per fitting when mounted in the SlingShot flying
track.
The flying system allows the boxes to be flown in a straight line or in a “banana” shape,
whichever best suits the desired coverage pattern. For 2-wide flying, the ideal angle between
top boxes is 20°. For 3-wide configurations, fly the top boxes at an angle of 45°.
The tilt of each individual box is adjustable in 1° increments.
The Slingshot is compatible with ATM flying bars. For clusters of up to 12 boxes (4 wide by 3
deep), use the ATM MLDS system. For arrays of 9 to 24 boxes, use the ATM MEGS 575 flying
system.
Custom 2-wide and 3-wide fixed flying bars and a comprehensive flying manual are under
development; please inquiry about availability.
