e Setting Up Your RPG Professional Sound System Your RPG is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the floor of the room they are playing and travel along the floor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional. Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located / aimed at ear level to the listening audience.
1. Choose a microphone with high directivity, i.e. cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar pattern. 3 2. Never point the microphone directly down in front of the speaker. Holding the micro phone in normal position will allow you to be closer to the stage monitor with out feed back. 5 3. See illustration below as to position of microphones when mounted in stand. Cardiod polar patter microphones should always be at a 90 degree angle to the axis of the stage monitor.
f e r 3. Keep Master Volume at 0 position. 4. Turn Mic Volume to 0 position. 5. Switch on the RPG unit. 6. Slowly turn microphone volume clockwise until you achieve appropriate gain setting. This is determined by the CLIP LED indicator light. Proper function is achieved when the CLIP indicator lights up at peak levels, it should never be in constant on position. The above adjustment matched the microphone preamp to the input gain of the RPG unit. 7.
Line Out Balanced Connection. The output marked Line Out allows for daisy chaining of signals from one RPG unit to another. Simply attach an XLR to XLR or ¼˝ TRS to XLR (RPG8) cable between the two units to share signals. The input into RPG #2 should go to the Line In port. Additionally you can use this output to connect a subwoofer.
