3.1. Setup preparation
Check the acoustical and mechanical setup using ArrayCalc and
prepare enough printouts for each array.
The plan enables the riggers to set up the suspension points, the
securing points and the chain hoists.
When on site first:
– Clear the working areas and ensure there is enough space to
set up and lift the array.
– Check that the hoists are exactly in the specified position.
– Ensure the chains are not twisted.
Inspections before setup
Before setup carry out a visual inspection of all system components
for faults. This also includes the loudspeaker and in particular the
rigging parts of the cabinets (Front and Splay/Rear links).
Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Please follow the instructions given in Þ Chapter 6. "Care and
maintenance / Disposal" on page 35.
