Loudspeaker Placement
In order to avoid the possibility of feedback locate the loudspeakers in front of your microphones
and do not point microphones directly at the front of a loudspeaker.
When using speaker stands, try to raise the loudspeakers as high as practically possible (at least
higher than the heads of the audience) since people are very good absorbers of sound, especially
at high frequencies. You also have the option to point them down using
the alternate angle provided for by the built-in dual angle pole holder.
Doing this will improve the coverage for
both near and far audience members.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: make sure that
any speaker stands you use are capable of
taking the weight of the loudspeaker, and
that stands are placed on a flat, level and
stable surface. Make sure that the legs do
not present a trip hazard. Take care when
lifting the speakers on to the stand; ask
someone else to help you if needed.
The same applies to using Milan
loudspeakers mounted on straight poles on
top of bass cabinets or subwoofers.
Adjustable height poles or stands allow you
to fine tune the height of the loudspeakers
to suit your venue.
Do not place your loudspeakers too close to
turntables as this may induce rumble or
low frequency feedback from the tone
arms. Isolate turntables on shock mounts.
Use equalisation sparingly. Start with the
bass and treble controls at their neutral
position (no boost or cut). Cut a little bass
to tame any boomy frequencies in the
room, and add a little treble to help vocal
intelligibility.
Consider adding subwoofers and/or further loudspeakers if the overall sound level or low
frequency response is not enough for the room.
