Positioning and Mounting Instructions
General Positioning Tips
• Operating a microphone or turntable in front of a speaker is a sure formula for
feedback and/or rumble problems, so always place the Expedition Pro in front
of any mics or turntables that are being used.
• Use the Expedition Pro upright for all “front-of-house” PA applications; use
it in its tilt-back position only for onstage monitoring.
• Always raise the speakers as high above the audience as is practicable for maxi-
mum coverage.
• Use sufficient enclosures for the space you’re in. The larger the space, the more
speakers will be required.
Pole-Mounting
The underside of the Expedition Pro contains a 1-3/8" stand mount socket that
allows it to be raised up on any standard speaker pole mounting (such as the
Ultimate Support Systems TS-30 or TS-33 speaker stands). Pole-mounting is gen-
erally advisable when you want to maximize the distance that the Expedition Pro
covers (sometimes called speaker “throw”).
If you are using an EX500 subwoofer, you can use its integral pole mount to place
an XP100, XP200 or XP300 immediately above it, creating a complete column of
sound.
Fly Mounting, Wall Mounting, and Ceiling Mounting
As shown in the illustration below, the top panel of the Expedition Pro contains a
number of fly points, located in compartments to the left and right of the wire-
less receiver compartment. The covers placed over these compartments are sim-
ply attached with double-sided sticky tape, so just pull up to remove.
