MOUNTING OPTIONS

As wedge monitors, LE Series monitors will most often be used as free-standing cabinets in
"landscape orientation" at floor level. The enclosures are fitted with moulded rubber feet on the
base which protect the stage and help the units to retain their position.
The coverage at ear height of the LE200 when used in "landscape" orientation (i.e., normal
wedge mode) is shown below:
The coverage of the LE100 is similar.

PORTRAIT ORIENTATION

Alternatively, both the LE100 and LE200 may be used in "portrait orientation" if wished; the
LE100 may be pole mounted for use as a portable PA system, and either model may be used in
conjunction with a sub-woofer as, e.g., a drum fill. The rubber feet on the ends protect both the
monitor and the sub-woofer.
The LE100 has a 35 mm top-hat socket in the rear to facilitate pole-mounting. The socket is
protected by a removable rubber bung when not in use.
LE Series speakers are shipped from the factory ready for deployment as wedge monitors, in
horizontal ("landscape") orientation. For vertical orientation, the coaxial driver must be rotated
through 90° to maintain the correct dispersion patterns. Inadequate coverage and generally
sub-optimal performance will result from using an LE Series monitor with the driver incorrectly
orientated.
