Speakers & Screen

Checklist

Speakers setup checklist

This is a condensed checklist if you already know what everything does. For more info on each, read on below

Speakers

• Setup both speakers on top of speaker stand
• Position correctly
• XLR cable connected to Mixer
• Power cable is connected
• Speaker is turned on

Checks

• Both speaker settings are correct
• Both outputting similar sound level

Placement

There’s 2 speakers, on the left and right. Ideally, they should be towards the middle of each quadrant. See below:

In practice, ours will look something like below. Note the screen position.

So here’s some positioning guidelines:

• They should be aligned horizontally
• They should be infront or at maximum, next to where the mic will be
• As much as possible, they should be in the middle of each quadrant
• Height should be above average people’s height

Speaker setup

Once the speaker is on, both of them should be setup with the following settings:

1. Press ‘CH SELECT’ until only the light is only on CH1
2. Make sure ‘MIC/LINE’ is on. Press to toggle
3. Make sure ‘MASTER VOLUME’ (First knob) is maxed all the way
4. Make sure ‘GAIN’ (Second knob) is half way (indicated by the arrow above)

Step-by-Step

For both speakers:

1. Setup speaker tripod & Place the speaker on it

   • You don’t have to extend the bottom of the tripod all the way, since it’ll take a lot of room and make it hard to position
2. Connect speaker cable to mixer

   • Check label to know which XLR cable to use
   • Check label to know which hole to plug to
   • Plug to Input 1 of Speaker
3. Connect power cable to speaker

   • Note: We haven’t been doing this, so check if possible on left
   • On the right, we don’t have power extension yet
4. Power on speaker

   • Hold power button for a few seconds
   • It should light up
5. Check the volume

   • Sometimes, the speaker makes a really low volume (when compared to the other one). If so, restart the speaker
   • Left and right should output about the same volume
     • Unless it’s panned from the mixer, but unlikely
6. Position screen to the right position

   • Follow chart above
