Operating Instructions Addendum: MILO 60
FLYING AND ARRAYING THE MILO 60
The MILO 60 loudspeaker shares the same dimensions and
rigging components as the MILO to facilitate seamless inte-
gration, and uses the MG-3D/M multipurpose grid for flying.
Since the MILO 60 is identical in size to the MILO, all of the
standard MILO QuickFly hardware may be used. Each cabi
-
net is fitted with the MRF-MILO rigging frame for use with
AlignaLinks that attach to the front and rear of the cabinets
for splaying them when flown or stacked. The hardware
allows adjustments of cabinet splay in nine steps between 0
and 5 degrees — in 0.5-degree increments up to 3 degrees,
and in 1-degree increments between 3 and 5 degrees.
The MG-3D/M multipurpose grid is used for both flying
and ground support for the MILO loudspeaker arrays. The
MLK-MILO link kit is required to connect any MILO cabinet
to the multipurpose grid. A variety of transition hardware al
-
lows MILO cabinets to be used in arrays with other M Series
cabinets such as the M3D, M3D-Sub, and M2D. Please see
the M Series section of the QuickFly Overview brochure
(Part Number 18.990.126.02 D) for an overview of these
products, and the MG-3D/M Assembly Guide (Part Number
05.132.036.01) for details on the installation and applications
of flying hardware for Meyer Sound loudspeaker systems.
CAUTION: All Meyer Sound products
must be used in accordance with local,
state, federal and industry regulations. It is the
owner’s and/or user’s responsibility to evaluate the
reliability of any rigging method for their application.
Rigging should be carried out only by experienced
professionals.
CAUTION: Always use properly rated rigging
hardware.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect rigging
hardware regularly and replace worn or
damaged components immediately.
Standalone MILO 60 Arrays
Arrays can be built using only MILO 60 loudspeakers, creat-
ing a sound source with a 60-degree horizontal coverage.
This type of array is especially useful when narrow coverage
is required.
Typical applications would be as audience side-fill loud
-
speakers to complement the front-facing main arrays in a
wider venue or stadium, as main reinforcement array(s) for
narrow venues, or for precise 60-degree sectioning of a
centrally mounted array.
Integrating MILO 60 with MILO Arrays
The various coverage angles available with the MILO family
of loudspeakers may be used to optimize the overall cover-
age of venues, assuring that all members of the audience
receive consistent sound — with as uniform frequency re
-
sponse and SPL as possible. The standard MILO cabinets
with their 90-degree horizontal coverage may be supple
-
mented with the extended coverage MILO 120 cabinets at
the bottom of the array to provide fill to the audience nearer
to the stage. MILO 60 cabinets would most often be used
toward the top of the array to provide coverage for the
higher, more distant balconies.
NOTE: For more information on line array
design and integration please refer to
Chapter 4 of the MILO High-Power Curvilinear Array
Loudspeaker Operating Instructions.
NOTE: Since MILO 120 expanded cover-
age high-power curvilinear array loudspeak-
ers make use of custom AlignaLinks, please see
details on how to use this rigging in Chapter 7 of
the MILO 120 Operating Instructions (Part Number:
05.142.003.01 A).
