The X-Ref Monitors are typically placed on stands or strong shelves, at a height which
places the listener’s ear level with the center of the speaker (between the tweeter and
woofer), and can be used as mains in a smaller system or as surrounds in a larger system.
If your X-Ref Monitors are to be placed above or below ear height, they may sound better
if tilted slightly up or down. If placed above head height, you may achieve better results by
mounting them upside down.
The X-Ref Surrounds are intended to be used as surround speakers in home-theater
configurations, but may also be used (probably in multiples) to provide background music to
large areas. The X-Ref Surrounds may be placed on shelves or attached to a wall using the
(included) mounting plate.
If your setup includes an X-Ref DSP Powered Subwoofer (or a pair), please refer to the
subwoofer’s manual for suggestions about placement and configuration.
As we said before, there is no right or wrong, so experiment and find out what placement
works best for you.
