durability, and fast setup and tear-down times will be very important to
you. Your SDJ system is designed to be the fastest system there is to
setup and tear-down.
The simplest, fastest, and safest configuration uses a standard 8' table
and no speaker stands. This is ideal for tented events because many
tents are too low for speaker stands, and short cable lengths for ultra-
fast set up times. Position the SDJ rack case in the center, facing
away
from the crowd. Position powered speakers on each side, facing
towards
the crowd. Connect speakers to the rack case with short cables. Make
sure there is room behind with room behind the table for guests to use
the touch screen while facing the audience
With no stands there are only three components to transport; two
speakers, and the SDJ rack case itself. They can be transported in just
about any vehicle. A two-wheel dolly comes in handy for long hauls.
With speaker stands you can use a smaller 4' table and speakers to each
side the same way. For those occasions where it is necessary to spread
speakers out for a wider sound stage, you will need longer cables and
extension cords connecting powered speakers to the rack case, or risk
hum by plugging them into nearby outlets. Be wary of people tripping
over cords and severing connections, or worse, knocking over equipment.
Use extreme caution with speakers stands for public events, especially if
alcohol is involved.
