If the speakers are toolow, the people in the back of the audience will not receive the best quality sound.Place the speakers between the microphones and the audience.Feedback occurs when the microphones pick up sound from the speakers and “feed” the sound back through the soundsystem. If space is limited, point the speakers away from the microphones to reduce feedback.Locate the speakers away from turntables.Low-frequency feedback occurs when the output of the speaker is picked up by the tone arm of the turntable and is re-amplified. A heavy, solid turntable base and shock mounting can also reduce this type of feedback in DJ applications.Use more speakers in large or highly reverberant spaces.Spreading speakers throughout these spaces will produce much better sound than trying to compensate with loudness level orequalization. For very long distances, the use of another set of speakers with time delay is recommended.Stand speakers upright for PA - Tilt the speakers back on the side for stage monitoring. Upright stance provides even coverageover a wide area. EON speakers are also designed with two slanted positions for stage monitoring applications.
