CAUTION: As part of the regular inspection and maintenance procedure for MICA loudspeakers, check
each of the captive GuideALink pins to ensure that they are tight by turning them counterclockwise by
hand. If a pin turns, it must be reset into the link using Loctite 290, and be allowed to cure for 48 hours and
retested before the loudspeaker is flown.
The front links may be set in two different positions:
■ 0°: This is the standard position (below left) and it is used to achieve splay angles between 0 and 6 degrees (ad-
justed on the rear) for optimal acoustical performance.
■ 7°: This is the extended position (below right) to add 7 degrees to the angles set on the rear link. These extended
angles (7 to 13 degrees) can be use to extend the coverage or to create a break in high frequencies of the array, for
example, to miss balcony fronts and other architectural obstacles.
The rigid connections created by the QuickFly rigging hardware allow easy adjustment of the array tilt, often eliminat-
ing the need for pull-back straps in flown configurations.
NOTE: The numeric designations on the MICA rigging and the actual achieved angles are equivalent
when one MICA loudspeaker is connected to another (for example, setting the front link at 0 and the
rear link at 4 achieves a 4-degree downtilt of the lower enclosure relative to the upper). These are relative
angles between the two enclosures. How they relate to the floor, stage, and seating angles in the venue de-
pends on the orientation of the grid, the other angles already set by the loudspeakers in the array above them,
whether they are used with the MG-MICA grid in a ground-stacked configuration, and other factors. Use
MAPP Online Pro to determine the actual angles and coverage pattern of the array.
NOTE: Optimal
acoustical
performance for MICA
is achieved by using
angles between 0 and
6 degrees in a MICA
array; use extended
angles (7 to 13
degrees) with caution
and only if necessary.
