9. ASSEMBLING AN ARRAY OF MICA LOUDSPEAKERS TO THE MG-MICA GRID
1. Lay the MG-MICA grid on the floor in the approximate location where the rigging points have been established
and the motors hung. Orient the grid so that the loudspeakers are pointing in the same direction as the arrows
indicating Front on the grid label. Attach 3/4” shackles to the desired points on the MG-MICA grid.
NOTE: If the grid’s downstage center point is being used, it is recommended that a two-foot length of
wire rope between the shackle and the motor hook be utilized to prevent the chain bag from obstructing
the high-frequency elements in the top MICA loudspeakers.
2. Lower the motors so that the motor chain hooks can be connected to the 3/4” shackles. Once secured, raise the
grid to slightly higher than the first stack of MICA (or 600-HP) loudspeakers to be linked.
3. Unstow the links if they are already stowed with the grid in the rear position, and move them to the forward
position if desired. If the links are not stowed, attach the links into either the forward (maximum downtilt) or
rearward (maximum uptilt) position. Ensure that two of the Red-button pins are securing each of the links to the
grid.
4. Roll the first MICA or 600-HP stack into position under the grid on its MCF-MICA caster frame. Up to four MICA
loudspeakers can be transported on the caster frame.
CAUTION: The front and rear grid links are of different widths, and should not be substituted for each
other. The rear link is wider than the front.
5. Lower the grid to within approximately an inch of the top MICA enclosure, move the MICA stack so that the link
pockets line up with the grid links, and bump the motors down. The links will nest in all four pockets of the top
MICA loudspeaker. Pin the links to the MICA using the 3/8” x 1.125” quick-release pins (with Blue buttons).
6. Check that each link is secured to the grid with two Red-button pins and the top MICA with one Blue-button pin
per corner. Check the rest of the stack to assure that each has a Blue-button pin in both the upper and lower
positions in all four corners where the loudspeakers link. Change and set the angles of each of these MICA
loudspeakers as desired.
NOTE: To reduce the tension on the pins when changing angles between loudspeakers, it may be
necessary to bump the motor(s) and/or lift loudspeakers by hand.
7. Connect the power, line-level audio, and RMS connections (or VEAM all-in-one) to each loudspeaker, and tie them
to the cable strain-relief points on the rear panel of the loudspeakers.
8. Pull the four Red-button pins securing the lowest MICA to detach the stack from the caster frame. Raise the grid
with its linked loudspeakers to slightly higher than the second set of MICA loudspeakers, and roll the empty caster
frame away. Retract the GuideALinks into the lowest suspended MICA loudspeaker (pull the Blue-button pins, use
the captive handle to slide the link completely into the enclosure, and re-pin it).
9. Roll the next stack of MICA enclosures into place under the suspended array. Lower the array until it is almost
touching the downstage edge of the top MICA to be attached. Line up the MICAs on the caster frame so that when
the links of the suspended loudspeaker are dropped, they will go directly into the link pockets.
10) Remove the Blue-button pins from the front link pockets on the top MICA loudspeaker to be attached. Pull the
pins on the lowest suspended MICA to drop the front GuideALinks into the pockets of the top MICA loudspeaker
being attached.
