The position of the spread- er bar controls the overall site angle of the array. The further back the spreader bar is attached, the more down angle is generated and vice-versa. The exact position of the spreader bar for a given angle is determined using Line Array Calculator 3 software. Position 14 corresponds to the Center-of-Gravity position of the B18, and can be used to suspend B18s flat (straight). Position 14 is marked as such on the Mini Frame side arms. EXAMPLES: A• Spreader bar set to position 7, creating uptilt (in this case +29 degrees). B• Spreader bar set to position 20, creating downtilt (in this case for a single B18 -29 degrees). A B 50

SELECTING SPREADER BAR POSITIONS
Each one of the two Mini Frame side arms includes 22 hole positions used for attaching the spreader bar. The position of the spread- er
bar controls the overall site angle of the array. The further back the spreader bar is attached, the more down angle is generated and
vice-versa. The exact position of the spreader bar for a given angle is determined using Line Array Calculator 3 software. Position 14
corresponds to the Center-of-Gravity position of the B18, and can be used to suspend B18s flat (straight). Position 14 is marked as such
on the Mini Frame side arms.
EXAMPLES:
Spreader bar set to position 7, creating uptilt (in this case +29 degrees).
Spreader bar set to position 20, creating downtilt (in this case for a single B18 -29 degrees).
