Also check the suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall, ceiling, structure, etc.), and the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws, brackets not supplied by RCF, etc.), which must guarantee the security of the system/installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical vibrations normally generated by transducers. To prevent the risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product unless this possibility is speciﬁed in the user manual.
RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional qualiﬁed installers (or specialized ﬁrms) who can ensure correct installation and certify it according to the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.
Supports and trolleys.
The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where necessary, that are recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment/support/trolley assembly must be moved with extreme caution. Sudden stops, excessive pushing force, and uneven ﬂoors may cause the assembly to overturn.
There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors to be considered when installing a professional audio system (in addition to those that are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).
Hearing loss.
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends on the duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones. See the manual technical speciﬁcations to know the maximum sound pressure level.

To prevent the occurrence of noise on line signal cables, use screened cables only and avoid putting them close to:

Equipment that produces high-intensity electromagnetic ﬁelds.
Power cables
Loudspeaker lines.

THE HDL 6-A

The HDL 6-A is a true active high power ready-to-use touring system for small to medium-sized events, indoors and outdoors. Equipped with 2 x 6” woofers, and 1.7” drivers, it offers excellent playback quality and high sound pressure levels with a built-in 1400W powerful digital amplifier that delivers superior SPL while reducing energy requirement.
Each component, from the power supply to the input board with DSP, to the output stages to woofers and drivers, has been consistently and specially developed by RCF’s experienced engineering teams, with all components carefully matched to each other.
This complete integration of all components allows not only superior performance and maximum operational reliability but also provides users with easy handling and plug-and-play comfort.
Besides this important fact, active speakers offer valuable advantages: while passive speakers often need long cable runs, the energy loss due to cable resistance is a huge factor. This effect is not seen in powered speakers where the amplifier is just a couple of centimeters away from the transducer.
Using advanced neodymium magnets and a groundbreaking new housing constructed from lightweight plywood and polypropylene, it has a remarkably low weight for easy handling and flying.
The HDL 6-A is the ideal choice when line array performance is needed and a fast and easy set-up a must. The system features state-of-the-art RCF transducers; the high-powered 1.7” voice coil compression driver mounted on a precise 100° x 10° waveguide delivers vocal clarity with high definition and an incredible dynamic.

THE HDL 12-AS

The HDL 12-AS is the companion subwoofer for HDL 6-A. Housing a 12” woofer, the HDL 12-AS, is a very compact active sub enclosure and features a 1400 W powerful digital amplifier. It is the ideal complement to creating flown HDL
6-A clusters with outstanding performance. Thanks to its compact size it can easily be carried and is very quick and easy to start using the built-in digital stereo crossover (DSP) with adjustable crossover frequency to connect the line array module.
It features a built-in digital stereo crossover (DSP) with adjustable crossover frequency to connect the HDL 6-A line array module or a satellite.
The integrated mechanics are both fast and reliable. The heavy-duty front grille is power-coated. A special transparent-to-sound foam backing inside helps the further protection of the transducers from dust.

POWER REQUIREMENTS AND SET-UP

WARNING

The system is designed to operate in hostile and demanding situations. Nevertheless, it is important to take extreme care of the AC power supply and set up a proper power distribution.
The system is designed to be GROUNDED. Always use a grounded connection.
PowerCon appliance coupler is an AC mains power disconnection device and must be readily accessible during and after the installation.

CURRENT
The following are the long-term and peak current requirements for each HDL 6-A/HDL12-AS module:

The total current requirement is obtained by multiplying the single current requirement by the number of modules. To obtain the best performance make sure that the total burst current requirement of the system doesn’t create a significant voltage drop on the cables.

GROUNDING
Make sure that all the system is properly grounded. All the grounding points shall be connected to the same ground node. This will improve reducing hums in the audio system.

AC CABLES DAISY CHAINS

Each HDL 6-A/HDL12-AS module is provided with a Powercon outlet to daisy chain other modules. The maximum number of modules that is possible to daisy chain is:

230 VOLT: 6 modules total
115 VOLT: 3 modules total

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE
A superior number of modules in the daisy chain will exceed the Powercon connector’s maximum ratings and create a potentially dangerous situation.

POWERING FROM THREE-PHASE
When the system is powered from a three-phase power distribution it is very important to keep a good balance in the load of each phase of the AC power. It is very important to include subwoofers and satellites in power distribution calculation: both subwoofers and satellites shall be distributed between the three phases.

RIGGING THE SYSTEM

RCF has developed a complete procedure to set up and hang an HDL 6-A line array system starting from software data, enclosures, rigging, accessories, and cables, until the final installation.

GENERAL RIGGING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Suspending loads should be done with extreme caution.
When deploying a system always wear protective helmets and footwear.
Never allow people to pass under the system during the installation process.
Never leave the system unattended during the installation process.
Never install the system over areas of public access.
Never attach other loads to the array system.
Never climb the system during or after the installation.
Never expose the system to extra loads created by the wind or snow.

WARNING

The system must be rigged by the laws and regulations of the Country where the system is used. It is the responsibility of the owner or rigger to make sure that the system is properly rigged per Country and local laws and regulations.
Always check that all the parts of the rigging system that are not provided from RCF are:
- appropriate for the application
- approved, certified, and marked
- properly rated
- in perfect condition
Each cabinet supports the full load of the part of the system below. Each single cabinet of the system must be properly checked.

RCF SHAPE DESIGNER SOFTWARE AND SAFETY FACTOR

The suspension system is designed to have a proper safety factor (configuration dependent). Using the “HDL50 Shape Designer” software it is very easy to understand safety factors and limits for each specific configuration. To better comprehend in which safety range the mechanics are working a simple introduction is needed: HDL 6-A arrays’ mechanics are built with certified UNI EN 10025 Steel. RCF prediction software calculates forces on every single stressed part of the assembly and shows the minimum safety factor for every link. Structural steel has a stress-strain (or equivalent Force-Deformation) curve as in the following:

The curve is characterized by two critical points: the Break Point and the Yield Point. The tensile ultimate stress is simply the maximum stress attained. Ultimate tensile stress is commonly used as a criterion of the strength of the material for structural design, but it should be recognized that other strength properties may often be more important. One of these is certainly the Yield Strength. Stress-strain diagram of structural steel exhibits a sharp break at a stress below the ultimate strength. At this critical stress, the material elongates considerably with no apparent change in stress. The stress at which this occurs is referred to as the Yield Point. Permanent deformation may be detrimental, and the industry adopted 0.2% plastic strain as an arbitrary limit that is considered acceptable by all regulatory agencies. For tension and compression, the corresponding stress at this offset strain is defined as the yield.

In our prediction software, the Safety Factors are calculated considering the Maximum Stress Limit equal to the Yield Strength, according to many international standards and rules.
The resulting Safety Factor is the minimum of all the calculated safety factors, for each link or pin.

This is where you are working with a SF=7

Depending on local safety regulations and the situation, the required safety factor can vary. It is the responsibility of the owner or rigger to make sure that the system is properly rigged by Country and local laws and regulations.
The “RCF Shape Designer” software gives detailed information on the safety factor for each specific configuration.
The results are classified into four classes:

WARNING

The safety factor is the result of the forces acting on fly bars and the system’s front and rear links and pins and depends on many variables:
- – number of cabinets
  – fly bar angles
  – angles from cabinets to cabinets. If one of the cited variables changes the safety factor MUST BE recalculated using the software before rigging the system.
In case the fly bar is picked up from 2 motors make sure that the fly bar angle is correct. An angle different from the angle used in the prediction software can be potentially dangerous. Never allow persons to stay or pass under the system during the installation process.
When the fly bar is particularly tilted or the array is very curved the center of gravity can move out from the rear links. In this case, the front links are in compression and the rear links are supporting the total weight of the system plus the front compression. Always check very carefully with the “HDL 6-A Shape Designer” software for all these kinds of situations (even with a small number of cabinets).

PREDICTION SOFTWARE – SHAPE DESIGNER

HDL 6-A Shape Designer is a temporary software, useful for the setup of the array, for mechanics, and for proper preset suggestions.
The optimal setting of a loudspeaker array cannot ignore the basics of acoustics and the awareness that many factors contribute to a sonic result that matches expectations. RCF provides the user with simple instruments that help the setting of the system easily and reliably.
This software will soon be replaced by a more complete software for multiple arrays and complex venue simulation with maps and graphs of the results.
RCF recommends this software be used for each type of HDL 6-A configuration.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The software was developed with Matlab 2015b and requires Matlab programming libraries. At the very first installation user should refer to the installation package, available from the RCF website, containing the Matlab Runtime (ver. 9) or the installation package that will download the Runtime from the web. Once the libraries are correctly installed, for all the following versions of the software the user can directly download the application without the Runtime. Two versions, 32-bit and 64-bit, are available for the download.

IMPORTANT:

Matlab no longer supports Windows XP and hence HDL50-ShapeDesigner (32-bit) doesn’t work with this OS version.
You may wait a few seconds after double click on the installer because the software checks if Matlab Libraries are available. After this step, the installation begins. Double-click the last installer (check for the last release in the download section of our website) and follow the next steps.

After the choice of folders for HDL6-SahpeDesigner software (Figure 2) and Matlab Libraries Runtime, the installer takes a couple of minutes for the installation procedure.

DESIGN THE SYSTEM

The HDL6 Shape Designer software is divided into two macro sections: the left part of the interface is dedicated to project variables and data (size of audiences to cover, height, number of modules, etc.), the right part shows the processing results.
At first the user should introduce the audience data choosing the proper pop-up menu depending on the size of the audience and introducing the geometrical data. It is also possible to define the height of the listener.
The second step is the array definition selecting the number of cabinets in the array, the hanging height, the number of hanging points and the kind of available flybars. When selecting two hanging points consider those points positioned at the flybar extremes.
The height of the array should be considered referred to the bottom side of the flybar, as shown in the picture below.

After entering all the data input in the left part of the user interface, by pressing the AUTOPLAY button the software will perform:

Hanging point for the shackle with A or B position indicated if a single pickup point is selected, rear and front load if two pickup points are selected.
Flybar tilt angle and cabinet splays (angles that we have to set to each cabinet before lifting operations).
The inclination that each cabinet will take (in case of one pick-up point) or will have to take if we were to tilt the cluster with the use of two engines. (two pick up points).
Total load and Safety Factor calculation: if the selected setup doesn’t give Safety Factor > 1.5 the text message shows in red color the failure to meet the minimum conditions of mechanical safety.

The autoplay algorithm was developed for optimum coverage of the audience size. The use of this function is recommended for the optimization of the array. A recursive algorithm chooses for every cabinet the best angle available in the mechanics.

RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW

Pending the official and definitive simulation software, RCF recommends the use of HDL6 Shape Designer together with Ease Focus 3. Because of the need for interaction between different software, the recommended workflow assumes the following steps for every array in the final project:

Shape Designer: audience and array setup. Calculation in “autosplay” mode of flybar tilt, cabinet, and splays.
Focus 3: Report here the angles, tilt of the flybar, and presets generated by Shape Designer.
Shape Designer: manual modification of splay angles if the simulation in Focus 3 does not give satisfactory results to check the safety factor.
Focus 3: Report here the new angles and tilt of the flybar generated by the Shape Designer. Repeat the procedure until good results are achieved.

RIGGING PROCEDURE

Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel observing the valid national Rules for the Prevention of Accidents (RPA).
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that the suspension/fixing points are suitable for the intended use.
Always carry out a visual and functional inspection of the items before use. In the event of any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items, these must be withdrawn from use immediately.

WARNING

The steel wires between the locking pins of the cabinets and rigging components are not intended to carry any load. The cabinet’s weight must only be carried by the Front and Splay/Rear links in conjunction with the front and rear rigging strands of the loudspeaker cabinets and the Flying frame. Ensure all Locking pins are fully inserted and securely locked before lifting any load.
In the first instance use HDL 6-A Shape Designer software to calculate the proper setup of the system and to check the safety factor parameter.

FLYBAR SETUP

The HDL6 flybar allows setting of the central bar in two different configurations “A” and “B”.
Configuration “B” allows a better upper inclination of the cluster.

SET THE CENTRAL BAR IN “B” POSITION
This accessory is provided in “A” configuration.

To set it in “B” configuration:

Remove the cotter pins “R”, pull out the linchpins “X” and the quick lock pins “S”
Lift the central bar then re-position it making the “B” indication on the label and the holes “S” match together.
Re-assemble the flybar repositioning the pins “S”, the linchpins “X” and the cotter pins “R”.

PICK UP POINT POSITION

SYSTEM SUSPENSION PROCEDURE

SINGLE PICK-UP POINT

Position the flybar pick-up point as shown in the software, respecting the position “A” or “B”.

STACKING ON SUB HDL12-AS

Secure the flybar to HDL12-AS
Secure the stacking bar“B” (as shown in the picture) to the flybar using the quick lock pin “S” (follow the indication “stacking point”)
Secure HDL6-A to the flybar using the frontal quick-lock pins “F1”.
Select the inclination angle (positive angles indicate a lower inclination of the speaker) and secure it with the rear quick lock pin “P”.

To obtain the speaker inclination (positive or negative) you need to match the stacking bar angle value with the same angle value stated on the speaker rear bracket.

This method works for every inclination except for angles 10 and 7 of the stacking bar, for which you need to proceed in the following way:

angle 10 of the stacking bar needs to be matched with angle 0 on the speaker rear bracket.
angle 7 of the stacking bar needs to be matched with angle 5 on the speaker rear bracket.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DISPOSAL

TRANSPORT – STORING

During transportation ensure the rigging components are not stressed or damaged by mechanical forces. Use suitable transport cases. We recommend the use of the RCF HDL6-A touring kart for this purpose.
Due to their surface treatment, the rigging components are temporarily protected against moisture. However, ensure the components are in a dry state while stored or during transportation and use.

SAFETY GUIDELINES – HDL6-A KART

Do not stack more than six HDL6-A on one Kart.
Exercise extreme caution when moving stacks of six cabinets with the Kart to avoid tipping.
Do not move stacks in the front-to-back direction of the HDL6-A’s (the long side); always move stacks sideways to avoid tipping.
