Positioning the Resound
Microphone Positioning - How to Reduce Feedback Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that is heard when the microphone gets too close to the speaker and the volume is high. You get feedback when the microphone picks up the amplified signal from the speaker, and then amplifies through the speaker again, and then picks it up again, and so on and so on. In general, it is always recommended that any LIVE mic (a mic that�s on) is positioned behind the speaker enclosures. This will give you the best level from your system before feedback. One possible exception is when you are adjusting the sounds of the microphones, since you want to listen in front of the speaker to hear properly. To do this, lower the MAIN VOLUME while setting the EQ and effect from in front of the speakers. Once you have the sound you like, move the microphones to behind the speakers and raise the Main volume. Speaker Placement Whenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the speakers above the heads of the listening audience. The Resound enclosure features a standard 1 3/8� pole mount receptacle, which is compatible with speaker stands from a variety of manufacturers. Using the Resound as a Floor Monitor The Resound RS10M, RS12M and RS15M are ideal solutions for stage monitoring and thanks to the unique design of the RS10M and RS12M, two wedge monitor positions are possible. When placed on its side with the high frequency horn facing to the left of the enclosure, the RS10M and RS12M are tilted at a 25 degree angle optimizing performance when used on a small stage. When the monitors are placed on their side with the high frequency horn facing to the right of the enclosure, they are tilted at a 30 degree angle optimizing performance when used on larger stages. The RS15M features a wide dispersion pattern and is configured with a 30 degree angle making them FAR FIELD ideal for electronic drum and keyboard monitors. In a large stage monitor system, several Resound�s can be daisy-chained together using the EXTENSION SPEAKER output. Note: Be sure to check the manufacturers minimum recommended impedance for your power amplifier to avoid overload and possible damage to both the speaker and STAGE MONITOR POSITION amplifier.

the Resound as a monitor system, you may choose to use an external equalizer like the Samson S Curve 131 to increase the volume and reduce the chance of feedback.
