See Figures 1a and 1b for optimal coverage areas in front of the loudspeaker when in monitor position.

Make sure to: · Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. · Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand "taller" and compromise its structural integrity. · Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. · Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker. · Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask another person to help you place it.
