SB18 rigging

The SB18 fully integrated rigging system allows the following setups (see also Figure 1 and Figure 3):
• Flying up to 16 SB18 under the M-BUMP structure. The M-BAR element can also be added depending on
the configuration.
• Stacking up to 4 SB18 onto the M-BUMP/M-BAR/M-JACK platform.
• Stacking up to 8 SB18 directly on the ground (for perfectly horizontal and regular surfaces only).
• Flying up to 4 SB18 under the KARA-MINIBU/KARA-MINIBUEX rigging structure.
• Pole mounting one XT or two KIVA enclosures using the built-in 35 mm/1.4 inch pole mount socket to
easily create a compact FOH system.
Strictly follow the instructions and mechanical limits given in the KARA Rigging procedures [3.4] to
rig an SB18 array.

SB18 connection

The SB18 subwoofer can be driven and powered by both dedicated L-ACOUSTICS
controllers. The LA4 can drive up to four SB18 enclosures (one per channel) and the LA8 can drive up to eight SB18
enclosures (2 per channel in parallel). For further details please refer to the LA4 or LA8 User manual [3.4].
The SB18 is equipped with two 4-point SpeakON
SB18 in parallel using an L-ACOUSTICS
The SB18 connects to the LA4 using the L-ACOUSTICS
LA8 using the DOSUB-LA8 cable in conjunction with the DO.7, DO10, or DO25 cable (see Figure 5).
A maximum of one SB18 enclosure can be connected per LA4 output channel.
A maximum of two SB18 enclosures can be connected per LA8 output channel.
CAUTION
ALWAYS connect the new DOSUB-LA8 cable adaptor to the LA8 (refer to the LA8 CACOM
CABLES Technical bulletin [3.4]). Never use the old DOSUB one.
