3. Placement
The placement of monitoring speakers is very critical and can compromise their performance. This
is a general rule for every loudspeaker. To monitor with uniK 05 utilizing their maximum
capabilities, an appropriate listening environment and a correct placement are important.
Typically you would be using 2 units of uniK 05 as one stereo pair – or more in surround setups
(i.e. in a 5.1 setup you would use 5 units of uniK 05 together with a subwoofer).
Stereo / 2.0 Positioning
Two units and the listener should be positioned or aligned in a regular triangle form. Please refer to
the following diagram to understand how to position your monitors. Each distance
x
should be
identical.
Stereo with Subwoofer / 2.1 Positioning
In a stereo setup with an added subwoofer, the subwoofer speaker should be positioned ideally in
the exact middle in front of the listener (with the same distance
x
). If this is not possible, it should
be as close to that position as possible.
