Introduction:
The Rockville DX12 powered speaker offers multiple positioning options to fit your specific setup. Whether you’re setting it up for a live performance, presentation, or as a monitor, this guide will show you how to position the speaker for the best sound.

Requirements:

• Rockville DX12 powered speaker
• Speaker stand (optional)
• Safety cables for hanging (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Speaker Positioning Options

• Option 1: Vertical Position (Traditional Setup)
  • For Standard Setup:
    • Take the speaker and align the pole mount located at the back of the speaker with the top of your speaker stand.
    • Safely guide the speaker down onto the stand, ensuring it is completely vertical.
    • This position is perfect for most traditional setups where you want the speaker at eye level.
• Option 2: Tilted Position (For Taller Stages)
  • For Stage Setup:
    • If you're performing on a taller stage, you might prefer a tilted setup.
    • Align the pole mount located at the front of the speaker with the top of the speaker stand.
    • This setup will tilt the speaker downward by 15°, allowing better coverage for the audience below.

2. Using the DX12 as a Monitor Wedge

• Monitor Setup:
  • The DX12 can also be used as a monitor wedge by placing it on the floor on its side.
  • The speaker’s design and rubber feet allow it to be placed securely on its side for monitoring purposes, ensuring you get the right sound during performances.

3. Additional Positioning Options

• Vertical Setup on Its Side:
  • The DX12 has rubber feet on the bottom, which allows you to place the speaker vertically on top of another surface if needed.
• Hanging from the Ceiling (Fly Points):
  • If you want to hang the speaker from the ceiling, you can use the built-in fly points and safety cables for secure hanging.

4. Final Setup

• Once you’ve chosen the best position for your speaker, connect it to power and set it up for your event.
• Adjust the speaker’s angle and height to fit the acoustics of your space.

Conclusion:

Positioning your Rockville DX12 speaker is easy and flexible, allowing you to customize your setup based on your needs. Whether you’re using it vertically, tilted, as a monitor, or hanging from the ceiling, the DX12 can adapt to any situation.
