- Page 10 On the right you see a rigging construction consisting of C1 stacking/rigging frame and C2 rigging T-bar. L-pin The flight system of the L16 is a so-called Tension Mode system in which the loudspeakers drop into a hook by L-pin their own weight during setup, after which they then are secured so the hook stays in place.
- Page 11 L16 manual 1.0/en Follow the same procedure for each subsequent L16. Start with the front attachment. Again place the L-pin at the desired angle and lower the speaker into the splay hook. Again place the L-pin in the first hole under the corner pin to secure the splay hook.

- Page 14 Picking up L16 rigs from a trolley The easiest way to build, break down and transport a larger L16 array is to use the L1 dolly which fits 4 L16s and which also has room for a C1 cradle and C2 T-bar.
- Page 15 L-pins. Hoist the rig from its trolley and move the next trolley (if more than 4 L16's are desired) directly underneath. Follow the interconnecting procedure for each subsequent L16. Start with the front attachment.
- Page 16 high performance arrayable loudspeaker Hook up the front first with the L-pins and lower the rig again onto the loudspeakers that are on the trolley. Then follow the same procedure as for the first 4 speakers (as shown on the left page and above).
