STANDARD INSTALLATION
In the following we will explain how to set up a standard PA-system with monitoring facility using the MP7.
The equipment list includes:
1MP7
2Hi-range speaker system cabinets, e.g. CP 12-2
2Bass speaker system cabinets e.g. CP 12-1
2Loudspeaker pole-mount stands or 2 intermediate poles
2Speakon cables, 8m
2Speakon cables, 2m
1AM12 active monitor system
1LF-cable with stereo phone plugs
Setting up
—Look for the most suitable location to set up the loudspeaker systems. Whenever possible, place the bass cabinets on the floor and the Hi-range cabinets directly on top. However, in doing so, make sure that the hi-range cabinets’ lower edge is in the same height of the audience’s heads or above. You can either use intermediate poles between the bass and Hi-range cabinets or, if this does not provide enough elevation for the speaker systems or there are no bass cabinets included, use appropriate speaker pole-mount stands.
—Compact overall sound is achieved by placing the left and right loudspeakers as far apart from each other as necessary but as close together as possible.
—Make sure that the main speakers are not behind you. Otherwise you will be facing feedback whenever your system set-up includes microphones or turntables.
—Use SPEAKON-type cables to establish connections between the loudspeaker systems and the MP7. Follow the instructions as shown in figure1. Make sure not to inadvertently reverse connect the left and right channels. The short SPEAKON-type cables are used to parallel connect Hi-range and Bass cabinets.
