The Expedition provides three different placement options for your specific
situation.
For maximum sound coverage the Expedition
can be used with a standard 1 3/8”
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
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 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.
Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that can be 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 .
• 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.
