Suspended Arrays
Safety Warning: Only authorised and
certied personnel shall design and install
suspended congurations, following the instructions
and procedures in the rigging manual supplied with
the MAN-FG y grid, or downloaded from
turbosound.com. Failure to follow these instructions
may lead to death or permanent injury.
The versatile MAN-FG y grid allows the Manchester
MV212 and MS215 speakers to be own in a number
of dierent congurations.
The MAN-FG comes with a multi-pick point tip bar
for single or dual suspension:
The MAN-FG also comes with a single pick point
plate that may be used instead of the tip bar.
The MAN-FG also comes with a ground stack plate
that attaches to the rear mounting point on MV212
speakers for ground stacking.
Example: an array of MV212 loudspeakers attached
to the bottom of the MAN-FG Fly Grid. The MV212
rear mounting plates adjust the angles.
Example: an array of two MS215 subwoofers
attached to a MAN-FG y grid. MS215 subwoofers
can also be mounted rear-ring.
A hybrid array may be congured using a second
MAN-FG attached to the bottom of the lower MS215
subwoofer. MV212 speakers can then be attached to
this lower y grid.
For maximum array sizes, weights and
working load limits, please consult the
MAN-FG rigging manual.
Ground Stacking
Safety Warning: Only authorised
personnel shall design and rig the ground
stacked conguration, following the instructions and
procedures in the manual supplied with the y grid
or downloaded from turbosound.com. Failure to
follow these instructions may lead to death or
permanent injury.
Example: an MV212 groundstack. The MAN-FG y
grid comes with an adaptor that attaches to the rear
mounting point on MV212 speakers for ground
stacking. The MV212 speakers can be attached to
each other with 2 front mounting points and one
rear point. The rear mounting plate adjusts the angle
of the speakers in the groundstack.
Example: a hybrid MS215/MV212 groundstack. The
MAN-FG y grid may be connected to the top of an
MS215 subwoofer, and then MV212 speakers
connected to the top of the y grid.
LAKE Preset Overlays and Application Notes
All Manchester series Loudspeakers exclusively use LAKE pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms. No other amplier and DSP platforms are supported.
The Manchester series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of LAKE software, along with new acoustic compensation overlays
for length of array and throw distances required.
Pre-set data is found either via LAKE LOAD Library or can be downloaded from www.turbosound.com
MV212 and MV212-XV loudspeakers each have 2 individual FIR base pre-sets: Full range, and with Subwoofer
Warning: Do not combine MV212 and MV212XV loudspeakers on the same amplier / DSP circuit.
Warning: Pay careful attention to output patching.
MV212 and MV212-XV modules are based on the FIR 3-way module from LAKE software. MOM – Module Output Mixing is used, enabling mid and high bands to be
individually processed and then combined back into 1 output channel. This maximizes performance, whilst minimizing amplier channels.
FIR3 module from LAKE software:
