VTX B18 | Rigging Manual 7 - RIGGING SYSTEM OVERVIEW VTX B18 cabinets include a six-point, spring-loaded, rigging mechanism that is easy to use and can be deployed to suspend up to 16 B18 cabinets, depending on the configuration. The B18 rigging system enables forming either standalone B18 arrays or mixed arrays using VTX A8 full-range cabinets suspended under the B18s. All VTX A8 suspension accessories, such as the Array Frame, Suspension Bar, and Mini Frame are compatible with the B18. When used in ground-stacked configurations, the spring-loaded rigging mechanism maintains tension on all parts, preventing any audible artifacts from vibrations. The B18 rigging system and enclosure are front-to-back symmetric, enabling cardioid arrays to be easily created for suspension or ground stacking. 7.1 RIGGING CLOSEUP M20 POLE AND BASE PLATE ATTACHMENT` SPRING-LOADED RIGGING BAR REVERSIBLE DOLLY ATTACHMENT TAB 17 CABINET-TO-CABINET CONNECTION POINT
