SPECS
DESCRIPTION
The VTX A8 MF mini frame is a lightweight, compact and inexpensive array frame used for suspending smaller VTX A8 and VTX B18
arrays. The mini frame was designed to work primarily with single-point or side-by-side suspension methods. For single-point appli-
cations, the mini frame can be used in conjunction with the VTX RC500 rotating clamp, allowing smaller VTX A8/B18 arrays to be sus-
pended from standard size trusses or pipes. The side-by-side suspension points are especially useful when suspending VTX A8/B18
arrays from telescopic boom lifts. The three-piece design is comprised of two sidearms and one spreader-bar. The sidearms connect
to the cabinets, and the spreader bar can be pinned to one of the 22 positions on the sidearms, providing excellent tilt resolution. The
three pieces can be collapsed and pinned together for storage. For more information about the mini frame and use cases, refer to the
VTX A8 Rigging Manual.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression
of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.

MINI FRAME ORIENTATION OPTIONS
The VTX A8 cabinet connected to the VTX A8 MF mini frame should always be set to the 4° pin position in both the Normal and Reverse
configurations. This ensures that the cabinet connected to the frame is always in parallel with the array frame. The 4° pin position should
also be used when VTX A8 cabinets are placed under VTX B18 subwoofers.
SPECS
NORMAL:
Mini Frame extends to the rear of the array.
REVERSE:
Mini Frame extends to the front of the array for additional
up-tilt range.
Pin Position: 4°
