16 Milan Series
Loudspeaker Placement
In order to avoid the possibility of feedback, always locate the loudspeakers in front of your microphones
and do not point microphones directly at the front of a loudspeaker.
When using speaker stands, try to raise the loudspeakers as high as practically possible (at least
higher than the heads of the audience) since people are very good absorbers of sound, especially at
high frequencies. You also have the option to point them down using the alternate angle provided
for by the built-in dual-angle pole holder. Doing this will improve the coverage for both near and far
audience members.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: make sure that
any speaker stands you use are capable
of taking the weight of the loudspeaker,
and that stands are placed on a fl at,
level and stable surface. Make sure that
the legs do not present a trip hazard.
Be careful when lifting the speaker
on to the stand; check the weight fi rst
before lifting and ask someone else to
help you if needed.
The same applies to using Milan
loudspeakers mounted on straight
poles on top of bass cabinets or
subwoofers. Adjustable height poles or
stands allow you to fi ne tune the height
of the loudspeakers to suit your venue.
Do not place your loudspeakers too
close to turntables as this may induce
rumble or low frequency feedback from
the tone arms. Isolate turntables on
shock mounts.
Use equalisation sparingly. Start with
the bass and treble controls at their
neutral position (no boost or cut).
Cut a little bass to tame any boomy
frequencies in the room, and add a little
treble to help vocal intelligibility.
Consider adding subwoofers and/
or further loudspeakers if the overall
sound level or low frequency response
is not enough for the room.
