4. RIGGING THE SYSTEM
WARNING! CAUTION!
The safety factor is the result of the forces acting on fly bar’s and system’s front and rear links and pins and depends on many
variables:
- number of cabinets
- fly bar angles
- angles from cabinets to cabinets�
If one of the cited variables changes, the safety factor MUST BE recalculated using the software before rigging the system�
In case the fly bar is picked up from 2 motors, make sure the fly bar angle is correct� An angle different from the angle used in
the prediction software can be potentially dangerous�
Never allow persons to stay or pass under the system during the installation process�
When the fly bar is particularly tilted or the array is very curved, the centre of gravity can move out from the rear links� In
this case the front links are in compression and the rear links are supporting the total weight of the system plus the front
compression� Always check very carefully with the “RCF Easy Shape Designer” software all this kind of situations (even with
a small number of cabinets)�
PREDICTION SOFTWARE – SHAPE DESIGNER
RCF Easy Shape Designer is a temporary software, useful for the setup of the array, for mechanics and for proper preset suggestions�
The optimal setting of a loudspeaker array cannot ignore the basics of acoustics and the awareness that many factors contribute to a
sonic result that matches expectations� RCF provides the user with simple instruments that help the setting of the system in an easy
and reliable way�
This software will soon be replaced by a more complete software for multiple arrays and complex venue simulation with maps and
graphs of the results� RCF recommends this software to be used for each type of line array configuration�
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The software was developed with Matlab 2015b and requires Matlab programming libraries� At the very first installation user
should refer to the installation package, available from the RCF website, containing the Matlab Runtime (ver� 9) or the installation
package that will download the Runtime from the web� Once the libraries are correctly installed, for all the following version of the
software the user can directly download the application without the Runtime� Two versions, 32-bit and 64-bit, are available for the
download�
IMPORTANT: Matlab no longer supports Windows XP and hence RCF EASY Shape Designer (32 bit) doesn’t
work with this OS version�
