THE MPA-UPQ ARRAY ADAPTER
The MPA-UPQ array adapter provides a solid connection
between UPQ-1P loudspeakers to form horizontal and verti-
cal arrays of up to three loudspeakers. The six M10 screw
holes at the front of the adapter plate are used to adjust the
distance between the loudspeakers to achieve the desired
splay angle (from 34° to 50°) and coverage. The adapter
plate has three rows of shackle holes that offer the flexibility
of flying horizontal and vertical arrays, as well as single loud-
speakers.
The MPA-UPQ array adapter kit (PN 40.185.054.01) includes
two plates and eight M10 knobs and washers. A single kit
can create an array of two UPQ-1P loudspeakers; two kits
are required for an array of three loudspeakers.
Arrays are assembled by attaching the array adapter plates
to the top and bottom plates of the UPQ-1P and securing
them with the included M10 knobs and washers.
CAUTION: The MPA-UPQ array adapter sup-
ports a maximum of three UPQ-1P loudspeak-
ers in an array.
Suspending Single Loudspeakers Vertically
with the MPA-UPQ
A single MPA-UPQ array adapter plate can be used to sus-
pend a single UPQ-1P loudspeaker vertically. The adapter
plate attaches to the top center of the loudspeaker with the
included M10 knobs. Shackles attach to the adapter plate’s
middle shackle holes (oriented up).
TIP: A second MPA-UPQ array adapter plate
attached to the bottom can be used to pull back
for severe down tilt angles using the last shackle
hole.
