How do I choose a stage monitor?

Selecting the right stage monitor starts with understanding your stage layout and performance requirements. Key factors include coverage angle (typically 60° or 90°), maximum SPL for adequate headroom, and frequency response to ensure clear vocals and instruments. For small stages, a compact wedge with 90° coverage works well, while larger stages may require higher SPL and narrower coverage to reduce bleed.

Power handling and amplifier matching are critical. Passive monitors need an external amplifier with sufficient power, while active monitors have built-in amplification and DSP for optimized performance. SSOUNDS stage monitors are engineered for high intelligibility and feedback rejection, with coaxial designs that provide consistent coverage and phase coherence.

Consider the monitor's form factor and rigging options. Wedge monitors are standard for floor placement, but side-fill or drum-fill configurations may require different shapes. SSOUNDS offers versatile solutions that integrate seamlessly with our line array and point-source systems, ensuring consistent sound across the entire PA.

Finally, evaluate durability and support. Touring-grade monitors withstand road wear, and reliable after-sales service is essential. SSOUNDS provides global support and robust construction, making our monitors a trusted choice for professionals worldwide.
