Hoist the CADIS™ array with the eight enclosures high enough so you can add
further cabs to the bottom of the array.
Insert the pins on the back of the bottom four enclosures’ "Set Angle" holes to
achieve the desired curvature. Connect the remaining speaker cords.
Repeat the above procedure if you wish to add more CAD 208 enclosures to the
flown stacked array.
4.1.4 Hoisting the System
The enclosures are rigged, speaker cords are all connected, and the pins are set
in the required configuration.
If you have opted for compression mode and want to use the lashing strap to
curve the CADIS™ array, connect one of its hooks to the rigging frame. Using
a shackle (with an 8-mm bolt), attach the hook on the other end to the bottom
cab, with the best choice of anchor being the connector component.
Tighten the strap until it exerts enough force to curve the array as desired.
Fig. 19: Attaching the lashing strap
Once you have hoisted the CADIS™ array, secure it against gusts of wind or
unintended twisting using two lashing straps or ropes.
4.2 Fixed Mode
To determine the set angle between two enclosures in fixed mode, you must
insert one pin (Set Angle) and secure the connector in place with the second
pin. To set the selected angle, insert the pin into the neighboring hole labeled
"Link" above the selected angle (Set Angle). This fixes the connector component
in place so that it is immobile in all directions.
This gives you the same set angles between two CAD 208 enclosures to choose
from as in compression mode; that is, 0° to 15° in 1.5° steps.
Fig. 20: Example of a fixed mode application with a 4.5° angle
Follow the same procedure as for compression mode to set up the system in
fixed mode. Often when arrays are sharply curved it becomes difficult to rig
additional blocks. In this event, you must mount enclosures individually from
below.
5 Flying CAD 115 Subwoofers
5.1 Components
You’ll need the following components to fly CAD 115 subwoofers:
• a standard rigging frame
• the pick points on the side panels of CAD 115 subwoofers
• CAD 115 subwoofer rigging kit consisting of four connector components and
eight pins
• rigging yokes for mounting CAD 208 enclosures to CAD 115 subwoofers
(2 parts + 6 pins)
