Part 2 –  Assembly and Rigging 

 

 

Transportation 

 

For  transportation  of the  Galeo, four  units  are  packed  in  a flightcase  (Art.  No. 

16002).  For  assembly,  either  just  the  cover  or  the  complete  hood  is  removed 

from the case. The angle of the units stacked below each other must always be 

0° in the flightcase, and the two ball lock pins for assembly on the flying frame 

should  be  located  in  the  rear  fitting  of  the  topmost  Galeo  element.  The  short 

Speakon  connector  cables  NL4  can  remain  on  the  elements. When  replacing 

the hood on the case or lowering the Galeo line array into the case, ensure that 

the viewing windows are on the rear side of the Galeo. This will enable you to 

check completeness and serial numbers at a glance. 

 

For transportation purposes the wheelboard Art. No. 01270 can be attached to 

the front of the Galeo Sub. Place both hooks (catches) in the upper and lower 

mounting eyes and then tighten the butterflies. Using the handle located on top 

the Galeo Sub can now be tilted forward onto the wheels.  

 

For transportation in a truck or on inclined surfaces it is essential to engage the 

wheel brakes  of the Galeo flightcase. The Galeo Sub is placed upright on the 

floor space to prevent rolling.  

 

 

For  transporting  two  Galeo  flying  frames  a  separate  accessory  flightcase  Art. 

No. 16003 is available in which replacement ball lock pins can also be stored. 

The  Galeo  Sub  flying  frame  can  remain  attached  to  the  Galeo  Sub  during 

transportation.
