Tripod and floor monitor operation Multi-angle pole cup The multi-angle pole cup is used to position the ETX-10P, ETX-12P, and ETX-15P loudspeakers for optimal sound coverage. The multi-angle pole cup has two (2) positions 0° and 7.5°. The 0° position points the sound horizontally straight towards the audience. The 7.5° position points the sound at an angle towards the audience and is used when the loudspeaker is above the audience. - Page 17 Tripod or pole mount ETX-10P, ETX-12P, and ETX-15P loudspeakers mount on a tripod stand or on a pole above a subwoofer. Mounting a loudspeaker on a tripod stand Figure 4.2: Full-Range models on tripod stand Caution! Tripod is not evaluated for safety with this loudspeaker. Check the specifications of the tripod stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.
