Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System
Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and
tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the oor of the room that they
are playing in and travel along the oor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional.
Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter
horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located / aimed at ear level to the listening
audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the
woofer sounds able to travel through various paths even when blocked.
It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers
on provided stands so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This
will guarantee optimum sound dispersion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.
How To Avoid Irritating Feedback
The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Power
Gig system. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your microphone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjustments,
we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly towards
the front of the speaker.
Stage Monitor Setup
Your Power Gig speaker comes standard with two brackets which snap in to the cabinet
sides allowing it to be placed on the oor at an angle as a stage monitor. Unlike a PA setup which face the crowd, stage monitors are set up to face the performer on stage and to
direct the sound towards them. This presents a particular problem as now feedback may
occur. To avoid stage monitor feedback the following precautions should be taken.
1. Choose a microphone with high directivity, i.e. cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar
pattern.
2. Never point the microphone directly down in front of the speaker. Holding the micro-
phone in normal position will allow you to be closer to the stage monitor with out
feedback.
3. See illustration below as to position of microphones when mounted in stand.
Cardioid polar patter microphones should always be at a 90 degree angle to the axis of
the stage monitor. Hyper Cardioid polar pattern microphones should be positioned at
an acute angle to the sage monitor.
You may choose to add a feedback eliminating processor to your system for additional
exibility on stage.

A Word About System Volume Controls and Gains.
There is really only one volume control on the Power Gig unit, that is the knob marked
VOLUME.
The Mic 1/Mic 2 in Level controls is a matching device to match the preamp voltages of
items such as microphones and guitars or other musical instruments with your Power Gig
unit. Never turn these up to maximum unless indicated by the instructions below. With a
properly matched signal your system will produce less distortion, be subject to less feed-
back, and will produce louder, cleaner and clearer sound. Use the Volume control once all
inputs are matched properly. Your Power Gig features a CLIP LED indicator to help you
set and match your components. Please be sure to read all set up instructions so your
Power Gig sounds its best.
