LOAD RATINGS OVERVIEW

All of the load ratings for the MG-M’elodie grid in this assembly guide take the following into consideration.

Prerequisite Conditions

The following conditions must be met to achieve the load ratings shown in Table 2:



Any combination of pickup points can be used. If a bridle is used between pickup points on the MG-M’elodie, the

angle of the bridle at the apex is no greater than 90 degrees.



The tilt of the grid must be no larger than the one achieved by the natural rotation of the array.



The array is not pulled from points other than the ones on the MG-M’elodie grid and no pull-back point should be

used for tilting the array.



The weight of the MG-M’elodie grid itself has not been included. The table rates the grid. For pickup points and/or

motors where the grid will be supported, the weight of the grid needs to be added: 36 lbs (16.33 kg).



The maximum number of M’elodie loudspeakers that may be hung in each conﬁguration is based on the M’elodie

weight of 62 lbs (28.12 kg).



The load ratings and maximum weights allowed regard the MG-M’elodie grid and ﬂown loudspeakers as a system,

including links and pins. Thus, the maximum stress point could change from one element to another in the system.

CAUTION: Using a bridle leg shorter than the recommended length for each conﬁguration will reduce

the load rating and may damage the MG-M’elodie grid.

CAUTION: Always use properly rated rigging hardware. The use of 5/8" shackles for the MG-M’elodie

grid’s pickup points is recommended.

CAUTION: The weight of any additional items hung with the array, such as downﬁll loudspeakers and

transition accessories and cable, must be considered when calculating maximum load.
