5. The SlingShot cabinets are constructed of 13 ply 18 mm plywood and finished with a highly scratch and weather resistant polyurethane coating The MS118 bass cabinet features integrated rubber feet for safe stacking and convenient guide lines for easy stacking ACCESSORIES Transportation dollies P N 93941002 are available for the top boxes The dollies are easily locked into the front grille and protect the speakers during transport Wheels with and without brakes are available for the subs P N 19400060 without brake P N 19400070 with brake INSTALLATION CONNECTIONS All SlingShot models feature an 8 pole Speakon plug The drivers in the MS1262 and MS118 are connected as follows Driver Pins 18 14 1 12 2 2 6 3 3 2 4 4 The 1 1 pins are linked on all terminals to enable linking between subs and top boxes Always use high quality speaker cable Cables with high capacitance high inductance and high impedance have a negative influence on sound quality as well as amplifier performance and reliability We recommend the special 8 pole Mach speaker cable which is a professional 4 mm rubber cable with low capacitance inductance and impedance Very long cables heavily influence sound quality and amplifier stability FLYING THE SPEAKERS The SlingShot flying system is fast flexible and safe There are four flying tracks on the SlingShot cabinets two in front and two in back at the center t
6. allowing both units to be flown in the same cluster MS118 The MS118 is built around an extremely powerful and efficient woofer designed specifically to provide powerful and accurate bass frequencies with minimal distortion The 5 voice coil assembly has probably the largest magnet ever employed in an 18 transducer and the outstanding performance confirms the theory that there is no substitute for motor power on low frequency transducers of this class Extensive research has resulted in the composite alloy and steel pole piece that provides stable and uniform magnetic field and improved linear excursion A sophisticated double suspension maintains pure axial movement ensuring that the voice coil is correctly centered at all times The motor assembly generates a high BL product that contributes to the speed accuracy and high fidelity reproduction even under the most demanding operating conditions A 38 mm thick driver chassis mounting board is employed to secure tight and precise bass response Acoustic absorption foam is used in the rear compartment to eliminate standing waves and off axis sound leakage The Pd 18 mm cabinet features front and rear flying tracks similar to those on the MS1262 top box The MS118 is designed as a symmetrically loaded half horn When paired with a second MS118 it should be stacked as shown to right to form a E double sided horn with extended sub frequency output and improved throw CABINET FEATURES
7. diaphragm To achieve an extended frequency response special Mylar suspension is incorporated into the unit The solid power handling and very low power compression is achieved by incorporating a specially developed flat aluminum voice coil Apart from virtually linear performance from 3 to 18 kHz the driver has a remarkably clean neutral and open sound All drive units in the MS1262 operate more than an octave beyond the frequency range in which they are engaged The audible result of this extreme approach is a speaker with remarkable headroom and ideal phase throughout the frequency range The nature of the speaker remains unchanged regardless of the output and it maintains detail and clarity even at maximum SPL MS15X2 The MS15X2 is a horn loaded double 15 mid bass unit with a horizontal beam width of 90 120 and a vertical beam width of 50 90 It delivers extreme output and clarity with a uniform on and off axis response that provides ideal support for the MS1262 and MS118 in outdoor or large indoor live applications where more energy is needed in the critical mid bass area The engine consists of two specially developed 15 low mid devices with a shaped cone low hysteresis in all moving parts and a double cooling system They are lightly loaded by a newly developed WaveShaper which transforms the circular wave into a square wave while minimizing distortion and eddy currents The MS15X2 cabinet is similar to the MS1262 cabinet
8. hat are connected by an internal steel bracket All flying tracks use Double Stud and Ring locking fittings P N 93944000 which have a certified load of 2400 kilograms per fitting when mounted in the SlingShot flying track The flying system allows the boxes to be flown in a straight line or in a banana shape whichever best suits the desired coverage pattern For 2 wide flying the ideal angle between top boxes is 20 For 3 wide configurations fly the top boxes at an angle of 45 The tilt of each individual box is adjustable in 1 increments The Slingshot is compatible with ATM flying bars For clusters of up to 12 boxes 4 wide by 3 deep use the ATM MLDS system For arrays of 9 to 24 boxes use the ATM MEGS 575 flying system Custom 2 wide and 3 wide fixed flying bars and a comprehensive flying manual are under development please inquiry about availability OPERATION PROCESSORS CONTROLLERS The SlingShot operates with any four way processor or controller A software file is available for the XTA DP266 and BSS Omnidrive Omnidrive Compact and Omnidrive Compact Plus The file can be downloaded from the service and support area of the Mach web site at http www mach dk For other processors or controllers please refer to the settings in the specifications The SlingShot combination MS1262 MS118 or M182T may be operated with the Mach MS3 three way analog controller For three way operation with the MS3 the MS1262
