Speaker Placement; Avoiding Feedback - Samson expedition escape Manual Del Propietário

Speaker Placement

The Expedition Escape provides three
different placement options for your specific
situation.
For maximum sound coverage the Expedition
Escape can be used with a standard 1
speaker stand. The speaker should be raised
above the heads of the listening audience.
Take care when placing the speaker on a
stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady
surface and will not tip over.
When using the speaker on the floor, or
when the speaker is below the listener, the
Expedition Escape features a monitor angle position to project the sound up,
towards the audience.
For smaller settings, the speaker can be placed vertically on a table or desk.
Take care when placing the Expedition Escape in direct sunlight for long
periods of time, as this may discolor or damage the unit.
Do not place the speaker on wet surfaces, as it can cause malfunction. If you
notice condensation on the unit, dry the speaker before using or storing.

Avoiding Feedback

Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that can heard when the
microphone picks up sound from the speaker. The sound is then re-amplified
back through the speaker again, creating a feedback loop. Follow these steps to
minimize the likelihood of feedback:
Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker. In general it is
•
recommended that the microphone be positioned behind the speaker
enclosure. This uses the directional characteristics of the speaker and
microphone to your advantage.
Keep the microphone as far from the speaker as possible. This will help
•
achieve isolation between the speaker and the microphone, and allow you
to increase the output of the Expedition Escape.
Position the microphone as close to the sound source as possible. This
•
will enable the microphone to pick up more direct sound, and allow you to
reduce the microphone input gain control.
Reduce the overall level of the speaker.
