CHAPTER 5
The M1D and M1D-Sub loudspeakers feature Meyer
Sound’s QuickFly rigging system with rugged, reliable and
deceptively simple components. QuickFly rigging facilitates
constructing rigid, ground-stacked or flown M1D and M1D-
Sub arrays, and eases integration of M1D-Sub with M1D
loudspeakers in unitary, full-range curvilinear arrays.
This chapter gives an overview of the M1D and M1D-Sub
rigging accessories. For complete information on how to set
up and use the rigging accessories, refer to Meyer Sound’s
assembly guides at www.meyersound.com/products.
! CAUTION: All Meyer Sound products
must be used in accordance with local,
state, federal and industry regulations. It is the
owner’s and/or user’s responsibility to evaluate the
reliability of any rigging method for their application.
Rigging should be carried out only by experienced
professionals.
Fitted as standard on all M1D and M1D-Sub loudspeakers,
the MRF-1D and MRF-1D-Sub rigging frames (Figure 6.1)
also accommodates all the parts necessary to couple an
M1D/M1D-Sub vertical array.
Figure 6.1. MRF-1D rigging frame
The MRF-1D and MRF-1D-Sub rigging frames utilize links to
connect adjacent cabinets, allowing vertical splay to be set
from 0° to 8° using quick release pins. The links are easily
reconfigured to allow arrays to be hung with the horns on
the left or right side. The MRF-1D frame provides a rigid
angle between cabinets, maintaining the predetermined
vertical splay as the array is tilted up or down.
M1D RIGGING LINK
The M1D rigging link works by enabling you to set individual
angles at the top and bottom of the link. Simply adding the
angles produces the desired vertical splay between two
cabinets. Table 6.1 lists all of the possible splay angle com-
binations using the M1D rigging link.

For example, setting the top of the link to 1º and the bottom
of the link to 6º produces a splay angle of 7º, as shown in
