Please be aware, if your monitors are placed on a desk, they may not be positioned at the right height. 

Isolation and height positioning

Once your monitors are in the right place, it's important to ensure that they are also positioned at the right 
height. Monitors placed on a desk are rarely positioned at the right height for you to be able to experience 
the 'sweet spot', as they are usually not directed towards your ears. 

In the most ideal scenario,studio monitor stands are used to ensure your monitors are at the perfect height. 
When you are sitting at your desk, the space between the woofer and the tweeter should be at the same 
height as your ears. If this setup simply isn't possible, you should consider investing in special isolation pads 
which can be placed under your monitors to create the perfect projection angle. In this case, your monitors 
can be angled towards your ears. Ideally, you will be able to look directly at the status LED or speaker 
components. 

Using isolation pads gives you another advantage too by preventing vibrations from the woofer being 
transferred to the surface they're standing on, resulting in a better, more neutral sound overall without any 
interference.

Positioning next to walls

The MR studio monitors feature a bass port on the back. While the woofer generates the low tones, the bass 
port ensures a more powerful sound overall. For the bass port to work properly, it's important that the 
monitors are placed close, but not against a wall so that the low tones can be reflected back into the studio 
for a fuller, more optimal sound if desired.

The speakers should ideally be placed anywhere from 30 cm to 100 cm away from the wall. It's worth
