Figure 9.1. MICA can pivot over 30 degrees on front link to aid rigging
CAUTION: If the links are not stowed as described in Step 8, you run the risk of denting or penetrating
the wood on the top loudspeaker in the stack by hitting it with an extended link.
11. Pin the front links in the 0 position (unless the +7 position is required). Position and pin the rear links of the
suspended MICA loudspeaker to the desired angle. “Bump” the motors to lower the rear GuideALinks into the link
pockets of the MICA to be attached, and pin.
12. Repeat the previous steps until the array has been assembled. All loudspeaker-to-loudspeaker links are made with
the Blue-button pins.
NOTE: As more loudspeakers are being added to the suspended array, keeping the grid as close to
parallel as practical to the stage surface will ease the process of adding more loudspeakers to the array.
This prevents the center of gravity from falling in front of the downstage motor, and making it virtually impossible
to control the angle of the grid — complicating the attachment of the rear links. In some cases when the array
length is longer than 10 - 12 loudspeakers, it may be necessary to push the suspended array toward the upstage
direction and lower the array to close the gap between the rear of the flown and stacked loudspeakers.
TIP: As the flown array is being assembled and raised, the front GuideALinks on MICA can rotate over
30 degrees forward while pinned, facilitating the connection of the flown, angled array to the stacks of
loudspeakers positioned on the caster frame. Roll the stack in place so that the front links mate, pin them, and
then lower the array slightly so that the rear links can be pinned. Finally, unpin the caster frame from the lowest
enclosure. Reverse the procedure when striking the array.
