3.4 TRAINING & EDUCATION

Correct training is fundamental to safe practice when working with loudspeaker flying

systems. We recommend that users contact local industry associations for information on

appropriate courses.

3.5 RIGGING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The NEXT loudspeaker systems have been designed to construct acoustic line arrays.

Acoustic line arrays typically consist of independent columns of loudspeaker systems. This

simplifies the rigging system. The LA12 (LA12C) loudspeaker enclosures utilize a rigging

system that makes the construction of arrays easy, predictable and repeatable. LA12 (LA12C)

enclosures are vertically trapezoidal, taller at the front than at the back. These enclosures are

linked at the front using swing arms that have two attachment points. Concerning the rear, the

enclosures are also linked using swing arms that have multiple attachment points, so that the

vertical angle of the bottom enclosure can be adjusted.

3.6 FLYING HARDWARE

The flying hardware consists of the following components:

 A flying bar from which a column of LA12 (LA12C) loudspeakers enclosures is

suspended (One flying bar per column is required);

 Front and rear swing arms;

 Front and rear rigging slots;
