- Each loudspeaker has five 8" Push Pull Neodymium Ribbon Drivers
& six 6.5" woofers. One Module is about 1 meter high. The 1/2 circle cylinder design measures 39.94" H x 10.75"
W x 6.62" D. The Modules daisy chain together 1,2,3 meter etc. steps and lock together to form a continuous line array
of audio building blocks. Each module is only 38 LBs Total weight (17.3 Kgs.) ***** 26 LBS (11.8 Kgs.) all
neo version is available. The composite enclosure has an internal rigging skeleton with eight 3/8"-16T Flypoints (ATM)that
have a minimum 5 to 1 Safety Factor with an additional 2 to 1 fatigue factor due to materials weathering. We use ATM flyware
that is certified compliant with overhead suspension standards through out the globe. The internal bracing and aluminum skeleton
serves to: Distribute the Load, Reduce Torsion, Distribute & Aborb Tension and Support Joinery Bonding. Working load limit
on each thread hole is 2000 Lbs. (909 Kgs.), Flyware fastners are all 3/8"-16T Grade 8 through top/bottom of steel plates
1.25" counter sunk Flat Head Cap (Use 5/32" Allen)and on the sides, 3/4" long Hex Flange head. Caution NEVER
REMOVE the TWO SMALLER ALLEN HEAD SCREWS Below the HEX Flange Head Screws when attempting to fly a cabinet. They are part
of the internal brace system and are not servicable by the end user. For any questions regarding flying issues please call
the factory. Internal Brace working load guidelines for cabinet suggested at 600 Lbs. ( 272 Kgs.) The working load limit of
each internal brace is 246 Lbs./ 112 kg with a 10 to 1 design factor. The CGN6685's unique technology combines the advantages
from the sum of many elements, such as a cabinets high strength design that is made from light weight materials. It's now
possible to fly a previously unprecidented number of line array cabinets in a row. For example,when flying from two points
it's technically possible to rig 31 modules (thirty one meters high!) of the standard CGN6685's in a row or 46 modules (forty
six meters high!) in a row, of the lighter all Neo6.5" versions of the CGN6685 cabinets. Obviously, your trim height,
not rigging hardware WLL factors will be your limiting factor during most set ups. When suspending enclosures, Remember the
system is only as good as the weakest link. Always THINK SAFETY FIRST! Avoid Shock loads and inspect your flyware regularly
for any deterioration which may result in the loss of original strength. Always try for a straight, neutral hang, Angular
lifts should be avoided when ever possible. Our Flypoints are designed and manufactured from parts that are constructed in
strict compliance to the following standards.
United States of America: ASME B30.20, ANSI E12-2000, OSHA 1910.184, OHSA
1926.251, UBC 16 XX, UL 1480 31.3
European Community: CE
Germany: VBG 70, VBG 9a
The flypoints are manufactured
in accordance with ISO 9001 quality standards.Rigging hardware info at www.atmflyware.com
Remeber use only Grade 80 Alloy
Chain for overhead lifting purposes(Please NO dog chain). A great source for chain, cable, wire rope and hardware is Fehr

We like to use our local vendor www.chicagohardware.com for forged 3/8"-16T eyebolts
and shackles. They are also distributed through Grainger if you need will call service. - Each module is 100 dB 1W/1M
SPL, 480 W cont. power handling with peaks to 1.25 KiloWatts (200 ms). Frequency response 80 Hz - 20 KHz+-3 dB. DSP processed
or Analog Active Biamp with 12 Ohm LF , 20 Ohm HF impedence loads Recomended X-over 675 Hz. The Crossover Frequency to the
ribbons can be as low as 250 Hz in Processed systems for certain applications. There is an optional passive X-Over with the
drivers wired for a nominal 8 Ohm impedence. Each Cabinet has Top & Bottom inputs both Speakon and screw terminals in
parallel. 8" spade lug to Male/female disconnect jumpers that neatly (unseen)connect underneath between interlocked modules
are available. If you want to use the system as a fully Digital Signal Processed rig we can provide all of the settings needed
for most industry standard DSP X-Overs. Please note when connecting multiple cabinets impedence loads are
1 Cabinet LF
12 Ohms HF 20 Ohms
2 cabinets LF 6 Ohms HF 10 Ohms
3 Cabinets LF 4 Ohms HF 6.7 Ohms
* Note Ribbon HF section
has a flat impedence curve and is essentially a purely resistive load that is easily driven by almost any amplifier. - Composite
enclosure consisting of a Baltic Birch plywood baffle attached to an internal Aluminum/Steel rigging skeleton with a half
tubular back form filled with Poly Urethane to create rigidity without the added mass. The cabinet is covered with a Neoprene
backing material, an estically pleasing fabric "grille sock"(white or black)slips over the system covering everything
but the steel end plates. The system is already weather resistant but "Weather proof" version is also available
which includes the water proof treatment of the cones, additional internal nylon spider web grille , Stainless Steel Hardware
etc.for a nominal charge. This helps to protect the system from driving rain, makes the drivers more UV stable and salt water
proof for mobile/ marine applications.
The system was designed and engineered with ergonomics in mind. All of
the Cabinet Modules have Teflon gliding feet on the bottom. Cabinets move with ease on stage , during transport and nest together
in pairs when stacked. Two Cabinets can bolted together with optional Dual steel Couplers locking the column as tall as you
need. If you want to connect three cabinets together we offer a three high coupler or just use a pair of 4 foot sections of
Unistrut.( Engineering Specs. Available) www.unistrut.com
The Cabinets also have a bottom steel 1.5" (38mm, Penn-Elcom.com)stand
socket for tripod stand mounting or pole mounting, maybe with a subwoofer etc. & FYI Because the CGN6685's are so light
weight (COG proximity/socket) you can go up or two high on a typical Ultimate tripod stand. One person can
move and set up a three high stack. Safety cables/Tie down straps are of course recommended. There are also four button
head 1/4"-20T mounting bolts on both the top and bottom of the cabinet for permanent installations to walls, pipes ,
Unistrut, "C" clamps and Stud plates using Omnimount 60.0 series or Allen Multimount MM-022 brackets. Bracket info
at: www.omnimount.com , www.allenproducts.com
Options: Black finish , White finish, "Water Proof" version,
& In-wall version >fits within 3.5" stud depth. Call for Custom finish quote that will allow you to stain, paint
or carpet your cabinet to meet your archetectual needs.
*****New Ultra light weight all Neo version
(6.5"NEO) of the CGN6685 is now shipping. It's completely video shielded , air freight ready and weighs only 26 LBs!
