 1. Safety precautions

1.1. Intended use

The Q-Series rigging components must only be used in conjunction with
the d&b Q-Series loudspeakers as described in this manual.
Installation and set up should only be carried out by qualified and
authorized personnel observing the valid national Rules of Prevention of
Accident (RPA).
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that
the suspension/fixing points are suitable for the intended use.

1.2. General safety instructions

WARNING! All system components must be inspected for faults before use. This also
includes the loudspeaker and in particular the rigging sockets of the
cabinets.
Damaged components must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Please pay attention to section 7. Care and maintenance / Disposal on
page 16 of this manual.
When chain hoists are in operation ensure that there is nobody directly
underneath or in the proximity of the load.

1.3. Load capacity/System safety

WARNING! The Q Flying system (frame and loudspeakers) is
designed to suspend a total system weight of 480 kg
(1058 lb) Working Load Limit (WLL) according to BGV C1.
The rigging components allow arrays up to a total system weight of
240 kg (527 lb) to be flown in any vertical splay angle configuration.
If the array contains Q-SUB cabinets these must always be positioned at
the top of the column.
For arrays with a total system weight of more than 240 kg (527 lb) the
load conditions within the rigging components have to be checked using
the ArrayCalc array calculator.
Under no circumstances climb on the array.

1.3.1. ArrayCalc / TI 385

The use of ArrayCalc is described in "TI 385 J-Series and Q-Series
system design, d&b ArrayCalc" which is supplied with the Q Flying
frame. ArrayCalc can be downloaded at www.dbaudio.com.
This TI also includes typical array configurations within the permitted
load limits.
Carefully read this TI to become familiar with the operation and
behaviour of ArrayCalc and in particular with the mechanical load
conditions and limitations.
We also recommend to attend the regularly hosted d&b Q-Series
training seminars. Further information of the d&b seminars can be
requested directly from d&b audiotechnik sales partners.

2.1.2. Z5155 Q Hoist connector chain

The Z5155 Q Hoist connector chain is used to connect the lifting motor(s)
to the Q Flying frame using one or two 1t Shackles supplied with the
connector chain. Its length of 52 cm (20.5) allows enough space for the
hang of most 1t motor chain containers.
Fig. 4: Z5155 Q Hoist connector chain

2.1.3. Z5154 Q Rigging set

One set is required for each Q-Series cabinet within a vertical array.
The rigging set includes the following components:
- 2 x Z5151 Q Splay link [a]
- 2 x Z5152 Q Front link [b]
a) b) c) - 8 x Z5153 Locking pins 8 mm (linked in pairs with a steel wire) [c]
Fig. 5: Z5154 Q Rigging set

Q-Series Rigging manual (1.2EN) Page 6 of 18

 2.2. Preparation for the set up
Check the acoustical and mechanical set up with ArrayCalc and prepare
enough print outs for each array.
Using the plan, the riggers are able to set up the suspension points, the
securing points and the chain hoists.

WARNING! The working load limit of the chain hoists and their
suspension points has to be high enough to carry the
total system weight.
If two hoists are used to suspend a single array each of
them has to be able to carry the total system weight. This
is because during the set up the motors might not always
be synchronized.
When on site first clear the working areas, check that the hoists are in
the specified position, the chains are not twisted and there is enough
clearance to set up and lift the array.

2.3. Assembly of the array

- Prepare flying cables and link cables according to the number of
amplifier channels and cabinets used.
Single hoist set up
- Choose the appropriate hole position in the top row of the Q Flying
frame centre bar according to the ArrayCalc simulation.

- Connect the Z5155 Q Hoist connector chain to the next rounded

numbered hole using one E6507 1t Shackle (Fig. 6). If ArrayCalc
displays a half numbered hole setting (half grid) use two 1t Shackles
set to the adjacent holes (Fig. 7). As an alternative the Z5160 Q Load
adapter can be used to achieve a quad grid (Fig. 8). Please refer to
the Z5160 Q Load adapter manual.

 Dual hoist set up
- Using two E6507 1t Shackles connect one Z5155 Q Hoist connector
chain to a hole at the front of the Z5159 Q Flying frame centre bar
and one to a hole at the back of it ( Fig. 10). The vertical aiming of
the array will be set by trimming the hoist motors after the array is
fully assembled.
Note: For maximum lifting height to be achieved the motors should be
Fig. 10: Dual hoist set up connected directly to the lower O-ring of the Hoist connector chain. The
chain container will rest on the Q Flying frame however this will not
affect the aiming of the array with a dual hoist set up.
- Connect two Z5152 Q Front links and two Z5151 Q Splay links to the
Q Flying frame using Z5153 Locking pins 8 mm.
Pressing the button [B] releases the locking mechanism allowing
insertion through the array links to the sockets of the frame. Releasing
the button after the pin is fixed in place the locking mechanism will be

[B] Ensure that the pins are locked. A groove [G] (Fig. 12) in the bolt of
the pin indicates that it is properly locked.
[B] In order to have all locking pins at hand to connect the next cabinet
the pins are linked in pairs with steel wire.
G
Fig. 12: Locking pin release mechanism

WARNING! The steel wire between the locking pins is not meant to
suspend a cabinet or carry any load. Cabinet weight must
only be carried by the Front and Splay links.
- With one person on each side attach the first cabinet. First connect
the Z5152 Q Front link on both sides to the upper sockets in the front
grill. Then connect the two Z5151 Q Splay links using the 8 hole
marked 0 TO FRAME to the sockets at the rear of the cabinet.
- Attach a cable pick using the bottom row of holes in the centre bar of
the Q Flying frame. With a single hoist set up try to suspend the
speaker cables right below the lifting position of the Q Flying frame
to avoid the aiming of the array being affected by the weight of the
cabling. If this is not possible attach the cable pick directly under the
chain hoist.

Fig. 14: First cabinet attached

Q-Series Rigging manual (1.2EN) Page 8 of 18

 IMPORTANT! At the top of each side panel of the Q-SUB cabinet are two sockets one
above the other. For flown set ups the lower sockets have to be used,
set to 0 TO FRAME for the first cabinet of the column. The upper
socket creates an offset of -6 in respect to the scale on the Splay link. It
is used to connect Q-SUB and Q1 cabinets in ground stacked arrays.
With the Q Front links rotated by 180 this allows a negative splay
angle up to -6.
Do not apply this to flown arrays.
- The next loudspeaker should be added in the same manner; first
attach two Q Front links and two Q Splay links to the bottom of the
lowest cabinet of the column and then lift the next cabinet into place.
First connect the Front links. With the Splay links select the hole
position according to the splay angles derived from the ArrayCalc
simulation. Q-SUB cabinets are generally connected using the 0
splay angle setting.
- Repeat this procedure until the column is complete. Connect alll
speaker cables when the cabinets are within reach.

2.4. Alternative set up

Using the chain hoist to pick up the cabinets allows a single person to set
up complete columns (without Q-SUBs). Proceed as follows:
- Attach the Q Flying frame to the hoist motor and attach the Front link
and Splay links to the Q Flying frame as explained in the previous
section.
- Place the Q1 loudspeaker with its face on the ground and lower the
hoist until the Splay links can be attached to the cabinet (8 position
0 TO FRAME to the Q Flying frame). All following cabinets should
be set to the required splay angle.
- Lift the loudspeaker using the hoist until it is hanging free and then

- Check the wiring. If the amplifiers are already wired and powered
on, by using their channel mute switches and a test signal the correct
function and routing of all channels and cabinets can be verified.
- With dual hoist set ups check and trim the absolute angle setting of
the lowest cabinet using a digital angle finder.

2.6. Hoisting the array

When all the mechanical adjustments, system checks and safety checks
have been made the array can be hoisted up to its operating position.
When hoisting the array, ensure that the loudspeaker cables do not get
caught anywhere. The cables can be strapped together with the motor
cable to form a loom while the system is hoisted.
The chain hoist motors must raise the system slowly and evenly so that it
is held level and does not swing or move from side to side during
hoisting.
For safety reasons the final array must be fitted with an additional
safety device which is independent of the suspension points. A detailed
description is given in section 4. Secondary safety on page 12.

2.7. Derigging
To lower the array and dismantle it, follow the assembly instructions in
reverse order. The same safety instructions apply.

2.8. Ground stacks supported by the Q Flying frame

WARNING! Ground stacked set ups must always be secured against
movement and possible collapse.

Up to six Q1 cabinets can be stacked and interlinked using the standard

Q rigging components and the Z5159 Q Flying frame as ground
support.
- Check the acoustical and mechanical set up with the ArrayCalc for
stacked set ups. In particular watch the position of the array's centre
of gravity displayed in the side view.
- Place the Q Flying frame up side down on the ground as shown in
the illustration opposite (Fig. 21).
- Add Q1 cabinets one by one using the Z5151 Q Front links, Z5152
Q Splay links and Z5153 Locking pins 8 mm.

3.1. Load capacity/System safety

WARNING! The Z5156 Q Flying adapter is designed to suspend up to
three d&b Q1, Q7 or Q10 loudspeaker cabinets. The
Working Load Limit (WLL) for the adapter is 72 kg
(159 lb).
Make sure that the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the
suspension point is high enough to carry the total system
weight.

3.2. Suspension of the Q Flying adapter

The Q Flying adapter is equipped with nine locating holes 12.5 mm (0.5)
at 30 mm (1.2) spacings. With arrays up to three cabinets ArrayCalc
displays the Q Flying adapter hole position to achieve the desired
Fig. 23: Q Flying adapter hole grid vertical aiming.
The Q Flying adapter can be suspended using an E6502 1t Shackle and
steel wire ropes or the Z5147 Rota clamp. Choose the appropriate hole
position in the Q Flying adapter according to the ArrayCalc simulation.

3.3. Assembly

 4. Secondary safety
WARNING! The secondary safety suspension must be independent of
the primary suspension points and capable of carrying
the total system weight including all dynamic forces in
case of a failure of the primary suspension.
The additional safety device must be mounted in a way
that the array is caught by the safety device without
significant drop and swing in the event that the primary
suspension fails. For this reason the safety wire should
suspend the array right above its centre of gravity.

4.1. Secondary safety at Z5159 Q Flying frame

The secondary safety can be attached in different ways using a 2-leg
safety wire (Fig. 27) connected to the Q Flying frame.

Fig. 27: 2-leg safety wire with shackles

Type 1 - single hoist set up only

Connect the shackles of the safety wire to the centre bar of the Q Flying
frame using hole positions as equally distanced from the pickup point as
possible (Fig. 28).

WARNING! Do not connect the secondary safety to the centre socket
[CR] (Fig. 30) at the back of the cabinet. This socket is
intended for horizontal aiming of an array and limited to
a load of 50 kg (110 lb).
The secondary safety should be applied to the top cabinet of the array.
[R4] Use two Z5048 Flying pins 10 mm connected to the sockets [R2] at the
rear of the cabinet or two Q9032 M10 Safety eye bolts attached to the
threaded inserts [R4] on both sides of the cabinet, passing the steel
rope through the Flying pins or the Safety eye bolts and attaching it to
the securing pickup point.

 5. Aiming and securing of the array

5.1. Horizontal aiming and securing of the array

After the array has been lifted to its operating height the horizontal
[CR] aiming has to be set and the array should be secured against rotation
and swing. It is recommended to use the following rigging sockets on the
lowest cabinet:
[R2]
- Sockets [R2] or [CR] with Z5048 Flying pins 10 mm.

[R4]
- M10 threaded inserts [R4] with Q9032 M10 Safety eyebolts.

Fig. 31: Rigging sockets for horizontal

aiming and securing against rotation and
swing

WARNING! If the system is used in an open air environment the

influence of wind has to be taken into account. The
protection against rotation and swing has to withstand
higher forces. Do not secure the array with the centre
socket [CR] (Fig. 31) at the back of the cabinet. This socket
is limited to a load of 50 kg (110 lb).
Read the following section 6. Wind loads.

5.2. Modifying the vertical aiming of the array

If an application requires the array to have a vertical angle which is not
possible by a single suspension within the hole grid of the Q Flying
frame additional wires or hoists may be needed to achieve this.
With arrays of up to three cabinets the standard rigging sockets on the
cabinets may be used (Fig. 31).
WARNING! To angle an array of more than three Q-Series cabinets
an additional Z5159 Q Flying frame has to be attached
to the lowest cabinet of the column. All additional wires
or hoists have to be connected to the Q Flying frame and
not to the cabinets rigging sockets (Fig. 31).
Always pull the additional wires or hoists backwards and
upwards (Fig. 32).
Using additional wires or hoists will change the load
conditions within the array and its rigging components.
The load calculation of ArrayCalc will not apply any
more. Therefore increasing the vertical angle of an array
is only possible with columns up to a total system weight

 6. Wind loads
When loudspeaker arrays are flown in an open air environment,
possible wind effects should be taken into account. Wind load will
produce additional dynamic forces to the rigging components and the
suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situation.
WARNING! Generally flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces
higher than 6 bft is not recommended.

When planning an open air event it is essential to get current weather

and wind information.
The following wind speed scale according to Beaufort gives an
impression of the effects of the different wind forces (bft).

Tab. 1: Wind force and its effects on land

WARNING! If according to the forecast wind forces higher than 5 bft

are possible the following actions have to be taken:
- The actual on site wind speed has to be monitored
permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically
increases with height above ground.
- Suspension and securing points of the array should be
designed to accomodate double the static load in order
to withstand any additional dynamic forces.
- Arrays with more than three cabinets have to be

(Fig. 33).
WARNING! If the wind force exceeds 8 bft there is a risk of
mechanical damage to the components which may lead
to a dangerous situation for persons in the vicinity of the
flown array.
Stop the event and make sure that no one is left within
the vicinity of the array.
Lower down and secure the array.
