Remarks and limitations
For a mixed setup, two frames are required. One frame is used for
suspension and the second frame acts as an adapter to add Vi8/
Vi12 cabinets below the Vi-SUB cabinets.
NOTICE!
In mixed arrays, the Z5380 V Flying frame must always be used as
a suspension device.
For the second frame, there are two options depending on the
number of TOP cabinets to be mounted:
–
Up to 4 x Vi-TOP cabinets can be mounted underneath the
SUB cabinets using the Z5387.001 Vi Mounting frame bottom

additional Z5380 V Flying frame must be used instead of the
Vi Mounting frame bottom.
