I don't sing, so no feedback.
Scott, I do sing, and placement of the speakers has always been a major problem.
I never used a monitor speaker until the Kn7. I find I do not strain my voice as much now, it will be part of my set up from on.
Speakers are funny creatures, what you hear may not be what they hear.
1-Danger--having the speaker just to the right of you, facing out. You hear the lows and very little of the mid's and high's.
The first time I used a woofer with my set up, all I could hear is the low end.
2-I agree with Dave, stereo is for the player. If the sax is paned to the right, the people on the right hear a strong sax, on the left a weaker distant sax. Only you and the people in the center benifit.
My best set up (no vocal) is one Eon 10 on stands on either side of me slanter toward the center. This normally keeps the sound directed towards the dance floor not the tables. Consider the speakers to be like a water hose, they travel in the direction that they are pointed in. The bass or lows do not.
I was explaned to me like this; During a thunder storm, walking in an open field, if you hear the crack in lightening you know which direction it is coming from. High sounds. If the boom comes, the low end, it seems to be coming from all over---you can not tell it's direction. And so it is with speakers.
1-On stands my Eon 10's do not have a great deal of low end.
2-On the floor they plenty of low end.
3-There are times when I do use one Eon 10.
4-I find the Eon 10's on stands do not do well on a job that requires great volume. Then I add a Eon GE15 for the low end. I have been thinking about a woofer-??
5-On 85% of my jobs, I use a Mackie mixer to control my voice, the keyboard, and a Mini disk player. I want and need control to do a good job. Bass, tereble, volume--over all EQ. I will be retiring the Mini Disk player now that the KN7 can play audio.
I'm coming to visit you and give you singing lessons. ha ha ha
Years ago when I played guitar with my live band I learned something very important, the guitar solo that I took so long to perfect got some attention from the audience. When I was singing, the attention was multiplied. People can relate to voice and words far more than they can relate to an instrument being played. There are some horrible sounded voices that have made the big time. It is not just the quality of the voice, it's how you use it. Don't think Sinatra, think Johnny Cash, think Louie Armstrong.
