Questions about Active Stage Monitors
What's the difference between a stage monitor and a PA speaker?
Stage monitors are designed for close-range listening on stage, while PA speakers project sound to a larger audience.
How do I prevent feedback when using stage monitors?
Proper monitor placement, careful gain staging, and utilizing built-in feedback suppression features are key to avoiding feedback.
What does 'dispersion' mean in the context of stage monitors?
Dispersion refers to the angle at which sound spreads from the speaker; wider dispersion covers a larger area on stage.
