About the L-Acoustic A15-Lift Bar
The L-Acoustics A15-Lift Bar is a specialized rigging accessory designed to streamline and enhance the deployment of the brand's compact A15 Focus and A15 Wide loudspeaker systems. It serves as an intelligent mechanical interface that transforms the process of flying these enclosures from a complex task into a straightforward, repeatable, and safe operation. The bar is engineered to pre-configure up to twelve A15 enclosures in a single, rigid assembly that can be easily hoisted as one unit. This innovative approach significantly reduces the time and labor required for array assembly at height, minimizes the risk of handling errors, and ensures that every cabinet is positioned at its factory-optimized relative angle and splay, guaranteeing acoustic performance as intended by the system design.
The design of the Lift Bar incorporates a robust aluminum frame with integrated rigging points and a central lifting plate compatible with standard hoists and motors. Enclosures are secured to the bar using quick-lock clamps that engage directly with the A15's dedicated rigging points, creating a secure, unified structure. The bar manages both the vertical spacing and the progressive tilt angles between cabinets automatically, according to predefined configurations for either the focused or wide dispersion versions of the A15. This not only accelerates setup and strike but also enhances crew safety by allowing the majority of the array assembly to be completed at ground level before the entire assembly is lifted into its final flown position.
As an integral component of the L-Acoustics ecosystem, the A15-Lift Bar reflects a philosophy of holistic system engineering, where hardware, software, and mechanical accessories work in concert to deliver predictable results. It is an essential tool for rental companies and sound providers who regularly deploy A15 systems for touring or installed applications, as it maximizes efficiency and consistency while upholding the highest standards of safety. By simplifying the logistics of arraying these versatile loudspeakers, the Lift Bar allows audio professionals to focus more on the artistic and technical aspects of the production, confident in the knowledge that the foundational sound system is deployed correctly and securely.
