2.5. Cabinet's rigging mechanism
Vi cabinets are mechanically connected to the Mounting/Flying
frame and subsequent loudspeakers using the Front links attached
to both sides of the cabinet front and the central Splay/Rear link at
the rear of the cabinet.
All necessary rigging components are mounted to the cabinet and
slide out when needed.
In principle, the Front and Splay/Rear link mechanism applies to
both the Vi8/Vi12 and Vi-SUB cabinets.

Vi8/Vi12 cabinets
1. Release both Locking pins and slide out the Front link.
2. Insert and lock one Locking pin to fix the link in place.
Vi-SUB cabinets
The Front link mechanism of the Vi-SUB cabinets provides four
different settings:
a. SUB to Frame (Þ Fig. 11)
b. SUB to SUB with 0° splay between the cabinets (Þ Fig. 12).
c. SUB to SUB with 2.5° splay (free Þ Fig. 13) between the
cabinets.
d. SUB to SUB with 2.5° splay (blocked Þ Fig. 14) between the
cabinets.
This setting is used to prevent the cabinets from folding up.
