CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING

Front GuideAlinks
The front GuideALinks act as a pivot point between linked
MINAs, with the splay angle between the units determined
by the rear GuideALink positions. When stowing front
GuideALinks, the knob is positioned at the top of the slot.
Rear GuideAlinks
The rear GuideALinks permit splay angles between linked
MINAs at 0.0, 0.5, and 1–11 degrees in 1-degree incre-
ments. The rear GuideALink includes three rows of holes
corresponding to the available splay angles (Figure 4) that
are secured in one of three pinning positions at the bottom
of the unit.
The label in the lower left corner of the end frame shows the
splay angle for the GuideALink position. With the knob at the
bottom, the splay angle is 0 degrees. As the knob is moved
up, the angle increases (all the way to 11 degrees). To stow
the link, the knob is moved all the way to the top of the slot.
NOTE: The splay angles listed on the
GuideALink label are for relative angles
between the linked units. For example, setting the
GuideALink to “5” yields a 5-degree downtilt of the
lower unit to the upper unit. How the loudspeakers
relate to the floor, stage, and seating angles in the
venue depends on the orientation of the MG-MINA
grid, the angles of the loudspeakers in the array
