CONNECTING TWO OR MORE GO GETTER SOUND SYSTEMS
USING A Go Getter UNPOWERED COMPANION SPEAKER
Connect one end of a speaker cable
of a powered Go Getter sound system. Connect the other end to the jack labeled IN
on the back of a Go Getter unpowered companion speaker.
NOTE: AC power is not required for an unpowered companion speaker.
USING 2 POWERED Go Getter SOUND SYSTEMS
This method uses the line-output feature of your Go Getter sound system. Connect
a speaker cable
to the LINE IN jack on the second powered Go Getter. Set the volume of the second
Go Getter to maximum so that full volume control will be at the first or primary sound
system.
NOTE: The line-output feature can also be used to send the signal to a sound
We recommend placing your sound system between the audience and the presenter, facing the audience and raised above their heads using a speaker stand
or table. This benefits listeners in the rear of the crowd, minimizes the risk of
overpowering those in the front and helps prevent feedback by keeping microphone users behind the sound system.
Place your unit along the least trafficked aisle pointing towards the center
of the audience.

CONTROLLING FEEDBACK
Feedback, a howling noise or shrill sound, is self-generated by the sound system. It’s caused by
a microphone picking up the sound coming from the speaker and then re-amplifying it. Once a
feedback loop starts it continues until the system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards
or in front of speaker
• Volume setting is too loud for room
• Sound reflecting off hard surfaces
AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK
• Point microphone in a different direction
• Keep microphone away from the speaker
• Place speaker in FRONT of the microphone
• Reduce the sound system volume levels
CAUTION: Feedback can damage your equipment & may be hazardous to hearing.
MULTIPLE SYSTEM PLACEMENT
Place units along aisles pointing just off the audience center line, over the
crowds head. With the sound system placed properly it should provide
sufficient coverage.
