General features
The LR18i has the following features:
A unique seamless arrayability up to/beyond 20kHz.
Symmetrical 90° or 120° dispersion in the non-coupling plane.
High-performance line-array system for even demanding applications.
Non-compressed 1:1 HiFi-quality sound reproduction.
Intuitive predictable linear response behavior and identical tonal balance at any SPL.
7” pro-ribbon HF section with exceptional intelligibility and “throw”.
Maximum dynamic headroom reserve with up to 90% less distortion.
Fully coherent and symmetric pattern control in horizontal and vertical plane.
SIS™ pre-wired for very high system damping and further reduced distortion.
All Neodymium drivers for excellent performance-to-weight ratio.
LR18i rigging features
The trapezoidal cabinet is fitted with integrated mounting hardware, enabling angle-setting on the cabinets during installation. The rigging system is intended for
fixed installation use and has a max. working load limit of 24x LR18i cabinets under 10:1 safety (with GRD18(B).

manual.
6. Ensure health and safety during installation and setup.
7. All persons must wear protective headgear and footwear at all times. Under no circumstances personnel is allowed to climb into a loudspeaker assembly.
8. Respect the Working Load Limit (WLL) of third party equipment.
9. Alcons Audio is not responsible for any rigging equipment and accessories provided by third party manufacturers. Verify that the Working Load Limit
(WLL) of the suspension points, chain hoists and all additional hardware rigging accessories is respected.
10. Respect the maximum configurations and the recommended safety level.
11. For safety issue, respect the maximum configurations outlined in this manual. To check the conformity of any configuration in regards with the safety level
recommended by Alcons Audio.
12. Be cautious when flying a loudspeaker array. Always verify that no one is standing underneath the loudspeaker array when it is being raised or lowered.
As the array is being raised, check each individual element to make sure that it is securely fastened to the adjacent element.
13. Never leave the array unattended during the installation process. As a general rule Alcons Audio recommends the use of safety slings at all times.
14. Ensure that the surface is suitable for ground-stacking a loudspeaker array.
15. Do not stack the loudspeaker array on unstable ground or surface. If the array is stacked on a structure, platform, or stage,
always check that the latter can support the total weight of the array. As a general rule, Alcons Audio recommends the use of safety straps at all times.

GRD18i
The GRD18i enables the LR18i line-array modules to be flown and ground
stacked. The grid can be suspended from multiple hoist positions on top of the grid
or by means of a central “single pick-point” for smaller arrays; all points
11mm/0.44-in for 0,75T shackles.
The GRD18i is certified for a safety-rating of 10:1, for twelve (12) cabinets LR18i

1,5T shackles. It has a mounting position and through hole for the Teqsas laser/
inclinometer.
The GRD18 is certified for a safety-rating of 10:1, for twenty-four (24) cabinets

GRD18B
The GRD18B enables the LR18i line-array modules and LR18B
line-array bass modules to be flown and ground stacked. The grid can
be suspended from multiple hoist options on top of the grid or with the
central “single pick-point” bar for smaller arrays (all points 14mm/0.55-
in for 1,5T shackles).The GRD18B has a weight of 26 kg / 57 lb and is
certified for a safety-rating of 10:1, for 24 cabinets LR18i, 12 cabinets

GRD18EXTBR
This is a “sliding” extension bar, which can be attached on top of the GRD18, to extend the
leverage capabilities of the GRD18, with larger centre-of-gravity (COG) array off-sets.
With the GRD18EXTBR mounted at the front side of the GRD18, the upward array tilt is
extended; With the GRD18EXTBR mounted at the rear side of the GRD18, the downward
array tilt is extended. The front and rear holes measure 14mm/0.55-in to facilitate 1,5T
shackles. Always use both quick release pins for the GRD18/ GRD18EXTBR connection.

5. Array configurations___________________________________________
Cabinet connections LR18i
There are 10 user selectable logarithmic angles, which can be determined by the
Alcons Ribbon Calculator™ simulation program. The angle lay-out is pictured on
the right. To set a desired angle, two holes in the angle bar need to be positioned
between the marked holes A,B on one cabinet and C,D and E on the adjacent
cabinet.
The picture below shows the front coupling with locating bolts.
It is important to mention that the angle setting on the desired cabinet is done at
the previous cabinet.

GRD18i options
The GRD18i is used with 1-12 LR18i arrays and has multiple
mounting options. The picture on the right shows the different
pick-points for flying an array. The A1 & A2 marked points are the
default hoist points.
It is possible to use one pick point from the A1 linear pattern. Use
one pick point only for max. 6x LR18i cabinets
When hanging a 6-12 LR18i array with 2 hoist points, ensure that
the Centre of Gravity is evenly spaced between the two A1 pick
points.
In case of a permanent installation, combine an A1 point and 2x
A2 for a stable 3-point hang. Use 0,75T shackles at all times
Hole A4 can be used for a cable sling attachment, or an extra
safety steel to the bottom cabinet of the array.
The 2 holes A5 will hold the connection bolt between the LR18i
angle arm and GRD18i.
Picture of the GRD18i sticker situated at the A5 marked area.
The -2.7° hole is only used when stacking an LR18i array.
