Meyer Sound M'elodie, Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 7

The rear GuideALinks permit 12 splay angles between 0 and 
11 degrees in 1-degree increments. The GuideALink has 
four rows each with 3 columns. The splay angle between 
cabinets increases by one degree as the GuideAlink is 
pinned in adjacent positions from front to back and top to 
bottom.

M’elodie GuideALink (shown removed from frame) 

A small label on the end frame serves as a guide to pin 
positions in the GuideALink, to help locate the find the 
desired angle as the knob moves up the frame. In the 
bottom position, the splay angle between cabinets is 
0 degrees. As you move the knob upwards, the angle 
increases to 11 degrees. To stow the link, the knob is 
moved all the way up in the slot.

CAUTION:

 As part of the regular inspection 

and maintenance procedure for M’elodie 

loudspeakers, check each captive GuideALink 
knob pin to ensure they are tight by turning them 
counterclockwise by hand. If a pin turns, it must 
be reset into the link using Loctite

®

 290, and be 

allowed to cure for 48 hours and retested before the 
loudspeaker is flown.

NOTE: 

Optimal acoustical performance for 

a M’elodie array is achieved by using  the 

adequate number of units as well as selecting 
the specific angles between cabinets to fill the 
requirements of a venue. Use the design guidelines 
in Chapter 5 to design systems and MAPP Online 
Pro to verify designs and get rigging information. 

THE MG-M’ELODIE MULTIPURPOSE GRID 

The MG-M’elodie multipurpose grid allows multiple 
M’elodie curvilinear array loudspeakers to be flown or 
ground-stacked in numerous configurations. 

CAUTION:

 For complete information on load 

ratings and how to set up the MG-M’elodie 

and other M’elodie rigging accessories, please use 
the MG-M’elodie Assembly Guide (part number 
05.152.034.01) available on www.meyersound.com. 

The MG-M’elodie grid can accommodate a variety of 
pickup configurations using its four side pick-up points 
and/or the nine center pick-up points.

Figure 7.5. 

MG-M’elodie multipurpose grid is used to fly a M’elodie 

array

The MG-M’elodie grid can be rotated to allow you to fly 
M’elodie loudspeakers in two positions with respect to the 
grid. The “rear flown” position (M’elodie is closer to the rear 
of the grid) is most useful for achieving superior uptilt in the 
grid and the “front flown” position (M’elodie is closer to the 
front of the grid) helps achieving more downtilt.

The MG-M’elodie has four captive grid links, each grid 
link has 3 positions. In flown configurations, the first 
M’elodie loudspeaker in the array can be connected to the 
MG-M’elodie grid at 0°, -5°, and -10° depending on the 
combination of the grid links position. In addition, the grid 
links can be stowed for transport.
