2.2 Rigging and Acoustic Simulation Software
The EASE FOCUS software allows you to congure the system for optimal performance and coverage in the venue.
The software can be downloaded from http://www.afmg.eu/index.php/products.html
The quantity of cabinets can be varied, the angles of each cabinet can be adjusted, and the SPL coverage calculated for any conguration.
Once an optimum system has been designed using the EASE FOCUS software, the angles of each MV212 cabinet should be noted, as well as the correct suspension hole
on the MAN-FG y grid, where your bow shackle would be tted for single-point suspension. For two-point suspension, pick point holes on the MAN-FG Tip Bar can be
utilized in conjunction with front and rear chain motors to obtain the desired array site angle.
The EASE FOCUS screenshot below is for a typical MV212 conguration. Check the “RIGGING” Tab and and note installation parameters such as: array weight,
bottom element elevation above ground level, bottom enclosure angle.
Note the angle of each MV212 cabinet in the “Object Properties” Tab.
