Tripod and Floor Monitor Operation
Floor Monitor
Electro-Voice ELX112 and ELX115 loudspeakers may be used as a floor monitor by placing the speaker
on the integral monitor angle. Make sure to:
• Place the speaker on a level, stable surface that is solid and secure.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the
cables. Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible.
See Figures 1a and 1b for optimal coverage areas in front of the loudspeaker when in monitor position.
