    MONITOR PLACEMENT The HOT SPOT should be positioned within arm’s reach of the performer. The closer it is, the louder it is. The HOT SPOT should be placed to the rear of the microphone being used by the performer.
  • Page 4: Maximizing Gain

    The 5 inch driver will not reproduce tones lower than 200 Hz. If the speaker begins to distort, reduce the low frequencies by adjusting the LOW tone control. As a monitor the HOT SPOT does a great job in conjunction with the house stack where the low frequencies are reproduced.
  • Page 5 Figure 1.3 shows a typical example of how speakers and a microphone may be positioned to adequately cover the lis- tening area while maximizing the gain before feedback. Figure 1.3...
  • Page 6 Figure 1.4 shows a monitor speaker on-stage in very close proximity to a microphone. If powered by the same channel of the amplifier used to power the main speakers, this monitor may set into motion a “domino effect” of feedback, limiting the gain of the entire system to that of the monitor.
  • Page 7: Ohm's Law And The Hot Spot

    OHM’S LAW AND THE HOT SPOT Most professional-type speakers (like the HOT SPOT) have two jacks which are wired in parallel (meaning the signal can travel into one jack and out of the other). Think of each speaker as a “load” added to the amplifier. The greater the num- ber of speakers, the heavier the load.
  • Page 8 As long as all of the speakers have the same impedance rating, the equivalent impedance of the system is the rated im- pedance of one speaker divided by the number of equivalent speakers. The HOT SPOT’s impedance is 16 ohms.
  • Page 9: Hot Spot Vc Impedance Chart

    The impedance of the HOT SPOT VC is determined by the position of its volume control. Use the table below to deter- mine the actual impedance. dB REDUCTION POSITION IMPEDANCE Full Clockwise 16 ohms 23 ohm 33 ohms 46 ohms...
