FB121 Flybar
This is the perfect setup for any venue where the audience is level with and above the stage. For example, a
bowl, a shed or a gym with bleachers.
The left output from a mixer feeds the MAIN INPUT of a Mackie HDA powered loudspeaker. The LOOP OUT
of that Mackie HDA feeds the MAIN INPUT of the next Mackie HDA. This daisy-chained array is repeated once
more to complete the tri-fecta.
Since three units are used, the Array Mode switches should be in the ‘3-4’ or ‘3-4 LONG THROW’ position.
See page 13 for more information about the Array Mode switch and the choices available.
It is possible to reproduce this exact same hookup in stereo. Simply utilize the left and right main outputs from
the mixer to feed the main inputs of the fi rst HDA on each side of the stage and mirror the rest of the system as
described above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup of loudspeakers. In this diagram, the HDAs are
ground stacked on the FB121 Flybar and the kickstand is included for additional support. This may be a
full-range system (as illustrated above) or add some subwoofers to the system for extra thump. You could even
mount the HDAs on top of the sub as shown on the next page. Refer to page 17 to view a table listing other
confi guration possibilities and pages 18 and 19 for more information about rigging.
Note that the HDAs AC power may be linked via the AC LOOP. Refer to page 6 for details on daisy-chaining
AC power.
