RCF HDL 30-A (13000511) 72033594 [10/32] Prediction software shape designer

WARNING

• The safety factor is the result of the forces acting on ﬂy bar’s and system’s front and rear links and pins and depends

on many variables:

- number of cabinets

- ﬂy bar angles

- angles from cabinets to cabinets. If one of the cited variables change the safety factor MUST BE recalculated

using the software before rigging the system.

• In case the ﬂy bar is picked up from 2 motors make sure that the ﬂy bar angle is correct. An angle different from the

angle used in the prediction software can be potentially dangerous. Never allow persons to stay or pass under the

system during the installation process.

• When the ﬂy bar is particularly tilted or the array is very curved the centre of gravity can move out from the rear

links. In this case the front links are in compression and the rear links are supporting the total weight of the system

plus the front compression. Always check very carefully with the “RCF Easy Shape Designer” software all this kind of

situations (even with a small number of cabinets).

PREDICTION SOFTWARE – SHAPE DESIGNER

RCF Easy Shape Designer is a temporary software, useful for the setup of the array, for mechanics and for proper preset

suggestions.

The optimal setting of a loudspeaker array cannot ignore the basics of acoustics and the awareness that many factors

contribute to a sonic result that matches expectations. RCF provides the user with simple instruments that help the

setting of the system in an easy and reliable way.

This software will soon be replaced by a more complete software for multiple arrays and complex venue simulation with

maps and graphs of the results.

RCF recommends this software to be used for each type of HDL 30-A conﬁguration.
