Positioning the system:
Proximity of walls and corners:
To ensure the best playback quality,
the speakers should be placed as far as
possible from walls and angles.
1. The unit should be placed at least
60cm (100cm is better) away from
walls or other obstacles on the rear
side and at least 40 cm (60cm is better)
from any obstacle on either side.
If used with a mixer or as a studio
monitor (nearfield), the speakers need
to be placed on a parallel plane and at
the same height of the user’s ears.
For best listening experience, the ideal user position is in
front of the speaker, and the distance between each satel-
lite and the user’s head must be the same as the distance
between the two satellites, in order to create an equilateral
triangle as shown in the picture.
Also, the speaker should be oriented towards the user (the
two speakers need to be oblique at about 60°). The height of
the speakers should be set so that the tweeters are located at
the same level of the ears (high frequencies are especially
directive).
