CHAPTER 5
The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers feature Meyer
Sound’s QuickFly rigging system with rugged, reliable
and deceptively simple components that remain captive,
in transit. QuickFly rigging facilitates constructing rigid,
ground-stacked or own M2D-Sub arrays, and eases
integration of M2D-Sub and M2D loudspeakers in unitary,
full-range curvilinear arrays.
This chapter gives an overview of M2D and M2D-Sub
rigging accessories. For complete information on how to set
up and use the rigging accessories, refer to Meyer Sound’s
assembly guides at www.meyersound.com/products.
CAUTION: All Meyer Sound products
must be used in accordance with local,
state, federal, and industry regulations. It is the
owner’s and/or user’s responsibility to evaluate the
reliability of any rigging method for their application.
Rigging should be carried out only by experienced
professionals.
Fitted as standard on all M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers,
the MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub rigging frames (Figure 6.1)
also accommodates all the parts necessary to couple an
M2D and M2D-Sub vertical array.
Figure 6.1. MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub Rigging Frames
The MRF-2D and MRF-2D-Sub rigging frames utilize
CamLinks to connect adjacent cabinets, allowing vertical
splay to be set from 0° to 7° using quick release pins (Figure
6.2). The CamLinks are easily recongured to allow arrays
to be hung with the horns on the left or right side. The MRF-
2D and MRF-2D-Sub frames provide a rigid angle between
cabinets, maintaining the predetermined vertical splay as
the array is tilted up or down.

MG-2D MULTIPURPOSE GRID
The MG-2D multipurpose grid (Figure 6.3) allows M2D and
M2D-Sub loudspeakers to be own or ground stacked.

TIP: See Meyer Sound’s assembly guides on
www.meyersound.com for more information
on how to set up the M2D and M2D-Sub rigging
accessories.
An adjustable rear extension frame provides exibility for
severe up-tilt and down-tilt in own applications as well as
increasing the stability in ground-stacked applications. Up
to 16 M2D loudspeakers (or the equivalent weight of M2D
and M2D-Sub cabinets) may be suspended from single or
multiple rigging points of appropriate rating, with a safety
factor of 7:1.
