Point source array modules page 2 i ntroduction to varia the varia loudspeaker family includes 3 full- range array modules and a 15 inch subwoofer. All have been designed to offer the ultimate in versatility and performance. When used as a stand alone loudspeaker each array module is a powerful 10 i...

Page 4 “stand alone” applications varia array modules are equipped with dual met- ric m10 attachment points top and bottom so they can be easily flown using eye bolts. Multi-angle pole sockets bottom mounted and side mounted flying hardware add further to their versatility. The associated 15-inch su...

Ground stacks of this type can easily handle up to...

Point source array modules most vertical line arrays are not assembled in a straight line as their name implies. Instead they are constructed in either a curved or a j shape or a combination of both shapes to obtain the proper sound coverage. The shape of the array is typically determined by the fly...

Point source array modules assembling vertical line arrays 1. Attach the rhang101la flybar to the top cabinet using the quick release pins. Note the bridle construction which allows you to move the suspension bar laterally and adjust the array’s tilt (aiming angle). Move the bridle toward the rear o...
