Orientation 

It’s very important to place the aktiv 08 vertically. Never place them horizontally. 

 

Comments 

Please also make sure to not place any obstacles that may block the flow of air or that could 
generate sound reflections (especially highly reflective material including glass or metal) in front of 
the monitor. Also, don’t put plants in pots on top or too close to your monitors. Keep a certain 
distance to the wall behind the speaker, as it could block air flow.
