7Positioning the ResoundMicrophone Positioning - How to Reduce FeedbackFeedback is the annoying howling and squealing that is heard when themicrophone gets too close to the speaker and the volume is high. You getfeedback when the microphone picks up the amplified signal from thespeaker, and then amplifies through the speaker again, and then picks itup again, and so on and so on. In general, it is always recommended thatany LIVE mic (a mic that’s on) is positioned behind the speaker enclo-sures. This will give you the best level from your system before feedback.One possible exception is when you are adjusting the sounds of the micro-phones, since you want to listen in front of the speaker to hear properly. Todo this, lower the MAIN VOLUME while setting the EQ and effect from infront of the speakers. Once you have the sound you like, move the micro-phones to behind the speakers and raise the Main volume.Speaker PlacementWhenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the speakers above theheads of the listening audience. The Resound enclosure features a stan-dard 1 3/8” pole mount receptacle, which is compatible with speakerstands from a variety of manufacturers.Using the Resound as a Floor MonitorThe Resound RS10M, RS12M and RS15M are ideal solutions for stagemonitoring and thanks to the unique design of the RS10M and RS12M,two wedge monitor positions are possible. When placed on its side withthe high frequency horn facing to the left ofthe enclosure, the RS10M and RS12M aretilted at a 25 degree angle optimizing per-formance when used on a small stage.When the monitors are placed on their sidewith the high frequency horn facing to theright of the enclosure, they are tilted at a 30degree angle optimizing performance whenused on larger stages. The RS15M fea-tures a wide dispersion pattern and is con-figured with a 30 degree angle making themideal for electronic drum and keyboardmonitors. In a large stage monitor system,several Resound’s can be daisy-chainedtogether using the EXTENSION SPEAKERoutput.Note: Be sure to check the manufacturersminimum recommended impedance foryour power amplifier to avoid overload andpossible damage to both the speaker andamplifier. In many instances when usingthe Resound as a monitor system, you maychoose to use an external equalizer like the Samson S Curve 131 to increase the volume and reducethe chance of feedback.STAGE MONITOR POSITION25 DEGREESSTAGE MONITOR POSITION30 DEGREESNEAR FIELDFAR FIELD
