sound meister

I hung a pair of Lascalas (123 pounds each), 15 years ago on 3/8" threaded rod. They don't go any where! The only problem I had is that after a while, even with jam nuts on both sides of the cabinet wall, the nuts come loose from vibration; maybe once every two or three years I have to retighten them. Of course they are in the same room as the church organ speakers, so there is a whole lot of shaking going on! Everyone who has seen them, thinks that 3/8" rod was over kill, but all agree that they won't come down. Just to give you an idea how strong it is, I can rest my etire weight on the top of the speaker (200 pounds) and nothing moves. 5/8" or 3/4" will be more rigid, but 3/8" is so strong, that there isn't really a benefit to going larger. But, hey, its not that expensive, so if its what you want to do, go for it. If you fasten both ends correctly, they will be there until you take them down.

Oops! yes, 21 feet of course...I will be flying them inverted. Any idea on the splay angle?

I've have a pair of Forte's I bought new in 1987. I am 100% satisfied! Never regretted my decision. I think you will be very happy!

Has anyone flown a pair of lascalas as an array? I'm looking for opinions on the correct splay angles and any other info you may have to offer. I'm flying them on a 21' ceiling. I have the bracing, and rigging stuff worked out, but I want it to sound good too! I have been using them in a church building for about 15 years, and just got permission to move them out int the auditorium where they belong!
