7.2.1. d&b Installer
The Installer is a modular flying system mainly for
permanent installation or touring use where the
setting does not change from day to day. The huge
variety of different parts enables the user to create
any configuration, starting from a single column up to
clusters providing 360° of horizontal coverage. Every
column can consist of up to 8 cabinets and a MAX
downfill. d&b provides configurations from 1 to
4-wide which include all the parts to configure the
flying system for the chosen set up.
7.2.2. d&b Transformer
The d&b transformer is a touring device where daily
set up changes are required. All settings can be
directly altered and Transformer 2-wide and 3-wide
Main bars can be easily combined to form larger
arrays using spreader bars. The spreader bar holds
the Main bars at the required distance and angle. For
large set ups (5 or more columns) an additional
Telescopic spreader bar can be used to stabilize the
whole rig and maintain the relative positions of the
motor points.
7.3. Vertical speaker columns
While the horizontal angles are adjusted on the flying
system itself, vertical angles are set by choosing the
appropriate chain and finally adjusting the vertical
angle of the whole column with the ratchet strap.
Assuming that the cabinet backs are tight together,
the vertical angle (α) between the cabinets depends
only on the deployed length (L) of the load chains
between the cabinets.
The table below shows the different angles obtained
by using different chains.
7.3.1. Suspending and adjusting the
column
The vertical kelp of the whole column depends on the
tension applied to the strap. Note that the centre of
gravity of the whole column always remains located
below the pick up point. This ensures that all the forces
remain vertical regardless of the cabinet aiming.
