CHAPTER 7
MICA loudspeakers feature Meyer Sound’s QuickFly rigging
system with rugged, reliable and simple components.
QuickFly facilitates deploying the loudspeakers in a variety
of applications. MICA is designed to be rigged using
professional components, and its custom front and rear
GuideALinks rigidly couple the individual MICA enclosures
for flying, stacking, or transporting in stacks while still in
various splayed positions.
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.
CAUTION: Always use properly rated rigging
hardware.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect rigging
hardware regularly and replace worn or
damaged components immediately.
MICA GUIDEALINKS
MICA’s captive QuickFly rigging hardware features rigid
GuideALinks contained within recessed guides in the
bottom front and rear corners of the enclosure. A slot and
convenient pinned knob allow each link to be moved and
pinned for arraying and storage. In normal use, the front
links are used as the pivot point, and the splay between
enclosures is introduced with the rear links.
Figure 7.1 MICA front and rear GuideALinks
The rear links permit 10 splay angles between 0 and 6
degrees for optimum acoustical performance. These angles
are: 0º, 0.5º, 1º, 1.5º, 2º, 2.5º, 3º, 4º, 5º, and 6º.

CAUTION: As part of the regular inspection
and maintenance procedure for MICA
loudspeakers, check each of the captive GuideALink
pins to ensure that they are tight by turning them
counterclockwise by hand. If a pin turns, it must
be reset into the link using Loctite 290, and be
allowed to cure for 48 hours and retested before the
loudspeaker is flown.
