Rigging design by the AVI rigging integrator and signed off by the facility's structural engineer. Loudspeaker support includes: 1. 8 each line array systems with 12 modules each attached to the manufacturer's rigging grid. 2 points per cluster with point load location and weight shown on drawings. Aiming for optimal conditions per field and manufacturer's recommendations. 2. 16 each subbass enclosures attached to circular truss using a total of 8 rigging points. The point load location and weight are shown on the drawings. Aiming for field conditions and the manufacturer's recommendations. 3. 6 each dasher fill loudspeakers attached to the manufacturer's U-bracket and suspended from 2 rigging points at each location. The point load location and weight are shown on the drawings. Aiming for field conditions and the manufacturer's recommendations. 4. 20 each upper-level delay fill loudspeakers attached to the manufacturer's U-bracket and suspended from 2 rigging points at each location. The point load location and weight are shown on the drawings. Aiming for field conditions and the manufacturer's recommendations. 5. Court/Ice has six loudspeakers attached to the manufacturer's line array grid system and mounted within the scoreboard--four rigging points for two clusters. The point load location and weight are shown on the drawings. The setup is designed to meet field conditions and comply with the manufacturer's recommendations. 6. Typical attachment to the building truss by Beam clamps, 7. Typical loudspeaker suspension by wire rope 8. Loudspeakers are to be supported by the manufacturer's rigging grid, U-brackets, and Z-beam. D. Loudspeaker Cables: 1. The center cluster/sub/scoreboard fill cable is to be exposed cable approved by the electrical inspector with prefabricated connector breakouts for connection to the rack amplifier breakout panel. 2. Dasher/Delay is to be exposed plenum-rated cable attached to building structure with appropriate "j-hook" or "clamp" attachment. 3. Existing concourse and under-balcony speaker cables may be repurposed for this project. E. Network 1.
