IC2-R Mobile Array Module Assembly

Floor Stacks

IC2-R mobile array modules and their matching subwoofers are often floor stacked

using the subwoofers as a mounting base for the array modules.

Typical floor stacks include two or three array modules plus one or two matching

subwoofers. Floor stacks can be built without the subwoofers, but the stack won’t bet

as stable as one built with one or two subwoofers as the base.

To assemble an IC2-R floor stack.

1. Remove the cabinet ( subwoofer or array module) that will be used as the base

for the array from its carton and place it into position.

2. Remove a second array module from its carton. Place it in position on top of the

first cabinet making sure the steel channels on both ends of the cabinet are aligned

with the ones on the subwoofer.

3. Remove (pull out) the quick disconnect pins from the channels at the top

of the lower cabinet. Then use the knurled knobs on the top cabinet’s joining

bars to move the end of the bars down into the lower cabinet’s channels.

In other words, grab the knobs and one by one slide the joining bars in the

channels on the top cabinet down into the top of the channels on the lower

cabinet.

4. After the joining bars from the top cabinet are slipped into the top of the

channels on the lower cabinet, secure them in place with the lower cabinet’s

quick disconnect pins. The lower cabinet’s joining bars should be left in their

position at the bottom of their channels unless and until they are needed to

add another array module.

5. Repeat the procedure with each of the four joining bars until the cabinets

are isecurely fastened together. Note that if a second subwoofer had been

included to form base, the two subwoofers would have been joined together

in the same fashion

Flying Arrays

The procedure for assembling flying arrays is similar to the one used to assemble

ground stacks, except that the order is reversed. Ground stacks are assembled from

the bottom up while flown arrays are usually assembled from the top down using the

RHANG-IC2 Flybar assembly; see photo

To assemble an IC2-R flying array using the RHANG-IC2 Flybar:

1. Insert the 2 heavy attachment arms into the top of the metal channels on the array

module and secure them in place with the quick disconnect pins.

2. Attach the lifting device (chain hoist, fork lift, etc) you will use to raise the array to

the flybar. One commonly used arrangement is shackles and a sling.

3. Raise the array high enough to let you roll or slide the next cabinet into position

beneath it. Lower the array assembly into position on the second cabinet and secure

it into position with the joining bars and quick disconnect pins.

4. Repeat the procedure until the array is complete.
