Positioning and Mounting Instructions

General Positioning Tips

•Operating a microphone or turntable in front of a speaker is a sure formula for feedback and/or rumble problems, so always place the Expedition in front of any mics or turntables that are being used.

•Use the Expedition upright for all “front-of-house” PA applications; use it in its tilt-back position only for onstage monitoring.

•Always raise the speakers as high above the audience as is practicable for maximum coverage.

•Use sufficient enclosures for the space you’re in. The larger the space, the more speakers will be required.

Pole-Mounting

The underside of the Expedition contains a 1-3/8" stand mount socket that allows it to be raised up on any standard speaker pole mounting (such as the Ultimate Support Systems TS-30 or TS-33 speaker stands). Pole-mounting is generally advisable when you want to maximize the distance that the Expedition covers (sometimes called speaker “throw”).

If you are using an EX500 subwoofer, you can use its integral pole mount to place an EX10, EX20 or EX30 immediately above it, creating a complete column of sound.

Fly Mounting, Wall Mounting, and Ceiling Mounting

As shown in the illustration below, the top panel of the Expedition contains a number of fly points, located in compartments to the left and right of the wireless receiver compartment. The covers placed over these compartments are simply attached with double-sided sticky tape, so just pull up to remove.
