6. Operating Notes

6.1 Optimum Placement
In order to ensure consistent coverage and intelligibility from the
first to the last row of the auditorium,
1. Place the Direct-Media / Direct-Studio as high as possible
using a loudspeaker stand.
Check that loudspeaker is clearly visible from each seat or
standing room area and that the sound will not be absorbed
2. by people or objects.
To optimally align the Direct-Media / Direct-Studio, you
3. can use the optional SHM1 stand adapter:
1. Mount the loudspeaker on the stand adapter.
2. Place the loudspeakeradapter on the loudspeaker
stand.
3. Extend the stand to its full length and aim the
loundspeaker down at the audience in the same way
you woud aim a spot-light to cover the entire
audience.

6.2 Avoiding Feedback

When using your Direct-Media / Direct-Studio with a wired or
wireles microphone, acoustic feedback may occur so the
loudspeaker would start whistling or howling. To prevent
feedback.
1. Make sure the talker will stand behind the loudspeaker in
order to prevent feedback.
2. Make sure never to point the microphone element directly
at the loudspeaker.
3. Hold the handheld transmitter by the shaft. Be sure not to
cover the microphone element with your hand.
4. Should the loudspeaker start whistling or howling at the
same turn the VOLUME control (12) down CCW to the
point that the feedback noise will stop.

7. Cleaning

You can clean the loudspeaker enclosure with a moistened
cloth.
Make sure that liquid will not penetrate into the case.
