2 Crew - Drew Menard and Paul Gould

10.08 am

The top rigging plate is hung from the 2 chain motors.

Speaker cables are taped to the bumper bar.

The first road case with 3 x Geo T 4805 cabinets is wheeled into position

10.12 am

Four locking pins are used to attach the integrated rigging plate on the top cabinet to the top plate.

Up go the chain motors to wheel in the next case of Geo-T. The next three cabinets are locked in place with 4 pins and lifted from the road case by the chain motors.

Positioning the pins in the side plate holes sets rigging angles.

10.19 am

Three more cabinets are locked in place and lifted from the road case by the chain motors.

Up go the motors and repeat the process, finishing with the Geo T 2815 cabinets, set to a steeper angle for near fill.

10.23 am

The Kelping Bar is attached to the bottommost 4805 cabinet, allowing the array to be set at the exact bumper angle as required.

All pin-angle positions are checked, and the bar angle is set to the angle dictated by the GeoSoft programme

10.31 am

The chain motors pull the array to its correct trim height, utilising a laser measuring device.

The entire array is rigged and angles set within its own footprint.

No more pushing equipment or chairs to pre-rig the PA like a train along the floor !
