What is a Stage
Monitor?
A Stage
Monitor is a speaker that is designed to sit on the floor of the stage and
point back at you, so when you are performing you can hear the music, or hear
the other band members. Stage Monitors are designed with a curve in the shape,
so this allows the speaker to be pointed up at you, rather than if it was flat
it would be facing the floor.
Why do you
need to have a Stage Wedge?
A Stage
wedge is so important to have when performing on at a live event so it allows
you to hear yourself, If you can't hear yourself then you could be playing the
wrong sound, or singing our of key for example, A Stage Wedge enables you to
hear everything that’s going on so you know you are playing the right thing!
What's the
difference between a Passive Stage Monitor and an Active Stage Monitor?
An Active
Stage Monitor has an amplifier built into the speaker, so the speaker can be placed
anywhere on the stage, and you know it will have enough power to drive the
speaker. A Passive Stage Monitor will require a separate amplifier to power the
speaker, This is normally an external piece of equipment that will need to
power the speaker and provide power to the speaker so it can produce the sound.
