Hi everybody, this is Chris from QSC.
00:09
In this video I'll be showing you how to use the CP series loudspeakers as live stage monitors.
00:15
With its compact size and light weight,
00:17
the CP series is a portable and efficient floor monitor
00:20
that'll give you great sound on stage without taking up much real estate.
00:24
Typically, if a loudspeaker is placed on the floor as a wedge monitor,
00:28
it requires a fair amount of EQ to not only make it stable with live microphones,
00:32
but also have a balanced sound that isn't too bass-heavy
00:35
from frequencies that are reflecting off the ground at the performers.
00:39
Obviously that can take a lot of time and EQ to set up properly,
00:42
but not with a CP Series speaker.
00:44
Here's how the Floor Monitor contour fixes that,
00:47
and saves you time.
00:48
Start by connecting an auxiliary output from our mixer to input A on the CP loudspeaker.
00:54
Next: select the “Floor Monitor” contour on the dial.
00:57
This setting gives the loudspeaker a full, balanced sound when used as a wedge monitor,
01:02
and added stability when live microphones are nearby.
01:05
We've done all the work for you so that with just the turn of a knob,
01:08
you're ready to go.
01:09
Now that we have the floor monitor contour set on the loudspeaker,
01:12
our stage system is much more stable
01:14
and less prone to feedback
01:16
and we didn't have to use any external EQ or mixers to get this clear, consistent sound.
01:21
And that's it. Now you’re all floor monitor experts!
01:24
Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time.
