MG-3D/M GRID AND MILO REAR FLOWN CONFIGURATION
The MG-3D/M multipurpose grid allows you to fly MILO loudspeakers in two positions in relation to the MG-3D/M grid.
The “rear flown” position is achieved by rigging MILO loudspeakers using the holes for the AlignaLinks that are closer
to the rear of the MG-3D/M grid. This position is most useful for achieving superior up tilt in the MG-3D/M grid and,
subsequently, the array. Under the same circumstances (number of loudspeakers, angle between loudspeakers, rating
and position of motors) the rear configuration will allow more degrees of up tilt than a "front flown" configuration.
In flown configurations, the first cabinet in the array is always connected to the MG-3D/M grid at 0°. This is
accomplished by using the top center hole in the rear AlignaLink (when used between cabinets, it is the 1° hole) which
effectively provides a 0° tilt angle. In addition to the splay angles of individual MILO loudspeakers in an array, the up
and down tilt of the MG-3D/M grid and the complete array hung underneath can additionally be adjusted using chain
motors, or differing lengths of steel cables or chains.
CAUTION: Out of the MRAL-MILO rear AlignaLink’s nine holes, you must use the top center hole
between the MG-3D/M grid and the first MILO loudspeaker in a flown configuration to ensure a 0° splay
angle between the MG-3D/M and the first MILO. Any other confinguration is not rated, and may produce an
unpredictable tilt angle and/or cause damage to the link and MG-3D/M grid.
Install the MRAL-MILO rear AlignaLinks and MFAL-MILO front AlignaLinks as shown into the MG-3D/M grid, using the
3/8" x 1.5" quick release pins (QRPs).
CAUTION: The leveling feet must always
be detached from the MG-3D/M grid before
flying a system. Unscrew the entire assembly,
including the threaded leg, and remove completely.
CAUTION: Never exceed the load rating of the MG-3D/M grid. When flying an array from the MG-3D/M
grid, it must always be supported by at least two pick-up holes, one on each side of the grid frame. See
“MILO System Load Ratings and Pickup Configurations” earlier in this chapter for more details.
CAUTION:
Make sure
that the long 1.5"
QRPs are used
to secure the
AlignaLinks to the
MG-3D/M grid and
that the QRPs lock
into place.
