Figure 1.2. MPW-4 MICA amplifier
This modular, field-replaceable amplifier/processing
package also incorporates Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC™
power supply, which automatically adjusts for any line
voltage worldwide and provides both soft turn-on and
transient protection. MICA is fitted standard with Meyer
Sound’s exclusive RMS interface, giving you the capability
to monitor and troubleshoot an entire RMS-equipped Meyer
Sound system remotely from your PC notebook or desktop
system.
NOTE: In order to use RMS, you will need
Meyer Sound’s optional RMS software,
interface card, and a PC running Windows
®
98/NT
4.0/2000/XP or higher.
NOTE: Complete acoustical and electrical
specifications are covered in Appendix B.
TRUCK-SMART AND RIG-READY
MICA’s QuickFly rigging employs rugged, reliable and user-
friendly components that remain captive in transit. Custom
front and rear GuideALinks™ at the cabinet corners couple
the units for flying, stacking or transporting in stacks while
still in various splayed positions.
A slot and convenient pinned knob allow each link to be
moved and pinned for arraying or storage.
The rear links of the MICA enclosure permit 10 splay angles,
for optimum acoustical performance, between 0 and 6
degrees (in 0.5-degree increments from 0 to 3 degrees,
and in 1-degree increments from 3 to 6 degrees). The two-
position front links with their standard 0° position may be
set to the extended position to add 7 degrees to the angles
set on the rear link. These extended angles (7 degrees to
13 degrees) can be used to adjust the vertical coverage at
higher frequencies — creating a wider angle in the array to
miss balcony fronts and other architectural obstacles.
Because rigging connections are rigid, the array tilt is easy
to adjust — often eliminating the need for a pull-back strap
in flown configurations.
Rigging accessories for MICA include the MG-MICA top
grid. This multipurpose grid is designed for flying MICA
arrays and can also be used to facilitate ground-stacking.
Figure 1.3. The MG-MICA multipurpose grid can be used both for flying and
ground-stacking MICA cabinets
An MTF-MILO/MICA transition grid allows MICA to be
configured along with MILO loudspeakers in complex
systems.
