Connecting the Resound HD Speaker System Choosing the Correct cables The Resound HD series speaker connections are made via the rear panel 1/4-inch and/or Neutrik Speakon® connectors. Standard, unshielded speaker wire, available at your local pro audio or music store, with either 1/4-inch phone or Speakon connectors and wire gauge of 12-14 is recommended.
Quick Set-Up In the following pages of this manual, you will find a detailed explanation of system set-ups, but if you just want to get started quickly, you can follow the diagram and steps below to set up a basic stereo PA system. NOTE: Before plugging in and turning on, it is important to remember the Golden Rule of audio … " LAST ON, FIRST OFF".
Positioning the Resound HD Microphone Positioning - How to Reduce Feedback Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that is heard when the microphone gets too close to the speaker and the volume is high. You get feedback when the microphone picks up the amplified signal from the speaker, and then amplifies through the speaker again, and then picks it up again, and so on and so on. In general, it is always recommended that any LIVE mic (a mic that’s on) is positioned behind the speaker enclosures.
This example shows a typical PA system using a mixer with an external power amplifier and a pair of Resound HDs for the main left and right mix. A separate signal from the mixer’s AUX/MONITOR bus is sent to two additional Resound HD’s placed in the tilt-back, wedge positions for use as floor monitors. In order to increase the output of the monitor system, the use of an external graphic equalizer like one of the Samson “E” or “S curve” series is highly recommended.
Resound HD Wiring Guide The Resound HD provides both Speakon and 1/4” phone connectors for easy interface with industry standard cables. You can use a variety of standard speaker cables that are available “off the shelf” at your local pro-audio or musical instrument retailer. Be sure that cables use standard, stranded speaker wire. A 12-14 gauge is recommended. If you are making your own cables, use the diagrams following below to ensure a proper hook up.
