•
The suspension point should be five to ten feet away from the active area of the stage to minimize feedback.
•
Always consult the venue architect or maintenance personnel before flying the array especially in a fixed installation.
•
Make sure the speaker is mounted on a stable and sturdy surface/ceiling/wall in case the system is used in a fixed
installation.
•
Please secure the flybar with an additional safety chain, especially when the modules are suspended with a
single motor.
•
Note: Studiomaster Professional is not liable for any accident caused due to negligence of the safety instructions,
improper usage, use of inferior quality trusses, chain pulley systems, other flying accessories & mounting on
surfaces which are not strong enough to support the weight of the speakers.
•
The ideal height at which the frame should be flown is between 5m to 8m. In auditoriums & churches, a single line
array comprising of 4 to 6 SLA 30 modules should be adequate. This array is normally flown in the centre of the
auditorium or church above the stage proscenium in the vertical plane at the edge of stage towards the audience.
4. Multiple flown arrays
This configuration is to provide side fill for audience spread
out widely on either side of the stage.
3. Left/ Centre/ Right flown arrays
This flying configuration may be needed when the stage is
very wide and centre fill is required for providing even
coverage.
2. Left/ Right flown arrays
This flying configuration is suitable for outdoor venues where wider
horizontal coverage is required. The arrays are usually flown on each
end of the stage.
8. Flying Patterns
1. Centrally flown single array
A centrally flown single array is suitable for indoor installation
where the room is not very wide. SLA 30 has a wide horizontal
dispersion and will be able to evenly disperse sound in rooms
with a width of within 25m.

It is recommended to employ a chain-pulley system for flying the array with a chain length so that the array can
descend to a level where it can be adjusted for curve articulation and sensitivity setting while standing. The chain
block is to be suspended on the trussing limb above the false ceiling. A 0.5 ton chain-pulley system can be
employed for flying up to 15 SLA 30 modules provided the trussing limb can take the weight.
