K2 — Flying an Array Under K1 Elements — Tools

K1-SB Array Setup

Refer to your Soundvision model to define which frame (K1-BUMP or K2-BUMP) to use for the K1-SB portion. If using K1-BUMP, set up the K1-SB portion of the array per the K1 rigging guides. If using K2-BUMP instead, place an open K-BUMPFLIGHT under the motor, attach one or two K2-BAR to the K2-BUMP if necessary, and stack one or two LA-RAK II AVB on the K2-BUMP if necessary (place K2-BUMP on the ground, stack the rack, then raise the K2-BUMP). Prepare the pickup points — refer to your Soundvision model. Lift the assembly so a block of K1-SB can be positioned under it, then attach the K1-SB block to the K2-BUMP — repeat until the K1-SB array is complete.

K2 Array Setup

Attach K2 on K2-CHARIOT by fully rotating the rear rigging arms of K2-CHARIOT and attaching a first K2. Position K2 on the K2-CHARIOT dolly. Secure the enclosure at the front using the LINK hole. Lift the rear of the enclosure and rotate the dolly's rear rigging arm to its upward position. Secure the enclosure using the LINK hole. Position another K2 on the first one — keep holding it by the handles until the front rigging arm is secured. While holding the handle, rotate the front rigging arm and secure it with both LINK pins. Slide the rear rigging arm and secure it with both pins, in the LINK and 10° holes. Make sure the automatic locking system button is unloaded — if pressed, pull to disengage the latch. Repeat the K2-CHARIOT attachment, positioning, and securing steps above until each block of four is complete — prepare all the blocks of four K2 necessary to build the K2 portion of the array. On both sides of each block, remove the pin from its current angle hole. Position the pin at the chosen angle hole and slide the rigging arm until the pin goes in (the angle hole to choose depends on your Soundvision model). Press the lock button to lock the inter-enclosure angle.

Connecting the Arrays

Lift the K1-SB array so a block of four K2 can be positioned under it. Using two K2-LINK interfaces, attach the front rigging arm on both sides: rotate it to align its hole with the K1/K1-SB rigging hole, pin it on the flown array, then lower the flown array and secure it with the LINK pin (move the flown array back and forth with the enclosure handle if the pin won't insert). Raise the array to lock the inter-enclosure angles. Turn the wheels inside the dolly. Connect the rear of the K1/K1-SB array to the rear of the K2 array with K2-LINK interfaces, using the 0.25° hole to align the front faces: on both sides, attach a K2-LINK at the back of the K1-SB enclosure without pinning it to K2 yet, pull back the bottom enclosures while lowering the array until only the front wheel touches the ground, then push the K2-LINK into the K2 rear rigging. Lower the array until K2-LINK's hole matches the K2 rigging middle hole — risk of pinching, do not touch K2-LINK while lowering. Secure the K2-LINK on the K2 rigging middle hole — verify the rear rigging arms are secured by pins and no yellow label is visible on the front. Remove the K2-CHARIOT: raise the array, then holding the dolly with one hand, remove the back pin on both sides, then remove the front pin on both sides. Lift the array so another block of four K2 can be positioned under it — verify no yellow label is visible on both sides of the array. Attach the front rigging arm of the new block on both sides: rotate it to align its hole with the K2 rigging hole, pin it in the LINK hole of the flown array, then lower the flown array and secure it with the LINK pin (move the flown array back and forth with the enclosure handle if the pin won't insert). Lock the inter-enclosure angles of the block by raising the array — the lower K2 enclosures swing and the latches automatically lock. Attach the lower K2 enclosures' rear rigging arm to the back of the array: turn the wheels inside the dolly, pull back the bottom enclosures while lowering the array until it contacts the top enclosure of the block, slide the arm upward and secure with the pin using the LINK hole, position the pin at the entrance of the chosen angle hole and slide the arm until the pin goes in, then press the lock button. Raise the array to lock the inter-enclosure angle — the latches automatically lock; verify the rear rigging arms are secured by pins and no yellow label is visible on the front. Remove the K2-CHARIOT: holding the dolly with one hand, remove the back pin on both sides, then remove the front pin on both sides. Repeat the lift-and-attach sequence above (lifting the array, then attaching the next block of four K2 to the bottom) until the array is complete. Raise the array to its final trim height. Adjust the site and azimuth angles.
