 Setting up your DT-air Active Studio Monitor System

Speaker Orientation

The DT-air Active Studio Monitor system can be used in either the vertical 
or horizontal position. When using the monitors in the horizontal position, 
be certain to place the left and right side tweeters on the outermost sides. 
(As shown in Figure 2). This will improve the stereo imaging and bass 
response by increasing the coupling of the low-end drivers.

Reflection

When choosing the height of your monitor system, be careful to avoid 
reflections off the surface of the mixing console (As shown in Figure 3).
These reflections arrive at the listening position with a slight delay from 
the original sound, resulting in strange cancellations and an overall 
unpredictable response. Visualize straight lines representing the 
beams of sound radiating from the monitors and choose a height that 
reduces the occurrence of reflections that will end up in the prime 
listening spot (As shown in Figure 4). In most cases, the ideal position is
slightly behind and above the mixing console's meter bridge.
