ULTRA XP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Array adapters can also be used to position UPJ-1XPs and

UPJunior-XPs as floor monitors with adjustable angles.

When positioning the loudspeakers as floor monitors, the

array adapter plates attach to the loudspeakers with the

included M8 knobs.

CAUTION: The M8 knobs included with array

adapters should only be used to secure the

plates to the loudspeakers when positioning them as

floor monitors. The M8 knobs should not be used for

flown applications.

Horizontal Arrays

Horizontal arrays with the array adapter can be flown by

attaching eyebolts to the loudspeaker end plates or directly

to the array adapter plates. Shackles can also be attached

to the adapter plate’s rear pickup holes for additional sup-

port or to provide control over the array’s vertical tilt.

TIP: To create optimum coverage in horizontal

arrays, the splay angles between loudspeakers

should be 50 degrees when the VariO horns are in the

80-degree horizontal by 50-degree vertical position

(this yields a horizontal coverage of 130 degrees).

Angles less than 50 degrees between loudspeakers

can cause too much interaction between the loud-

speakers, while angles greater than 50 degrees can

yield holes in the coverage.

Vertical Arrays

Vertical arrays with the array adapter can be flown by

attaching eyebolts to the loudspeaker end plates or directly

to the array adapter plates. Shackles can also be attached

to the adapter plate’s rear pickup holes for additional sup-

port or to provide control over the vertical tilt.

Vertical arrays of up to three loudspeakers with the array

adapter can be ceiling mounted by attaching a U-bracket to

the top loudspeaker.

NOTE: When flying an array of Ultra XPs from

the MUB-UPJ U-bracket, the bracket should

be fastened to the holes toward the rear of the loud-

speaker plates, to compensate for the shift in center

of gravity. In addition, shackles can be attached to
