    Models X250 XR250 With Galaxy Audio’s Far Outlet personal power source, a lunchbox-sized rechargeable supply of 110 house- hold current, the CORE X250/XP250 can be used where no AC power is available. The FAR OUTLET is available from Galaxy Audio dealers.

    MONITOR PLACEMENT We recommend Galaxy Audio’s HOT SPOT Personal Monitor. Its controlled bandwidth (optimized for vocals) pro- vides superior intelligibility and gain before feedback.
  • Page 10: Maximizing Gain
