Medium Array Configuration

Below is an example of applying the HFC to four SXA18P's in an array. In this particular configuration, the HFC on the top speaker is set at +3 dB, and the bottom speaker 0 dB.

+3dB +3dB +3dB 0dB

Small Array Configuration

This is an example of the HFC application with two SXA18P's in a small array, with the top speaker set at +3 dB and the bottom speaker at 0 dB. Do not stack more than two SXA18P speakers on the pole.

Be sure to lock the two speaker cabinets with the original hardware.

Array Frame

The following table defines the maximum number of speakers that may be suspended using the FB-1 array frame. A security design factor is maintained for the speaker configurations indicated in the table.

Maximum Array Configurations

Maximum quantity of SXA28P in array (satellite)	2	3	4	5	6
Maximum quantity of SXA18P in array	1	1	1	0	0

Suspension Safety Warning

• Never exceed the maximum recommended speaker cabinet listed on the table.
• Research and understand the local regulation and requirements of the country where you intend to install the line array. The correct assembly of all associated hardware is required for a safe suspension system.
• Two point suspension with uniform loading of each lifting location is recommended when using Array Frame FB-1

Array Frame Connection

The FB-1 frame is connected to SXA-HD-L and SXA-HD-R with ALTO quick release pins.
