MG-3D/M GRID AND M3D/M3D-SUB REAR FLOWN CONFIGURATION
The MG-3D/M multipurpose grid allows you to fly M3D/M3D-Sub loudspeakers in two positions with respect to the
grid. The “rear flown” position is achieved by rigging M3D/M3D-Sub loudspeakers using the holes for the captive links
that are closer to the rear of the MG-3D/M. The rear flown position is highly 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 the front
configuration.
In flown configurations, the first M3D/M3D-Sub in the array is always connected to the MG-3D/M grid at 0°. This is ac-
complished by using the captive rear link of the M3D/M3D-Sub in the rear and the MTL-3D transition link in the front.
CAUTION: A grid tilt greater than 45° is not allowed when flying M3D/M3D-Subs using the MG-3D/M
grid.
Install the MTL-3D transition links and M3D captive rear links as shown into the MG-3D/M grid, using the 1/2" x 2.5"
quick release pins (QRPs).
CAUTION: Always
use two 1/2" M3D
QRPs to secure the MTL-
3D transition links and
one to secure the captive
rear links to the MG-3D/M
grid, and be sure to lock
them into place. Do not
use the MILO 3/8" 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 of each side of the grid frame. See
the section “M3D System Load Ratings and Pickup Configurations” earlier in this guide for more details.
