EGG100 MONITORING SYSTEM

Setup and Operation
The EGG100 is designed for near-field, free standing or desktop operation. This means that adjacent equipment
and surfaces will have some effect on the performance of the system and this should be taken into account when
planning and installing the speakers. The openness of the sound balance will be at its best in a room that is acoustically
treated in such a way as to be as neutral as is reasonably possible. Too much foam panelling on the walls and no bass
absorption will create an uneven spectrum and some effort should be made to avoid this. A free guide to acoustics
will be available from MunroSonic upon request.
Positioning
The ideal listening position is at between 0.5 & 1.5m from the speakers with a similar distance between them.
The speakers are designed to work very well at close distances, for example, when setup either side of a computer
monitor or TV screen.
The EGG100 system includes custom moulded, vibration damping nests for the EGGs to sit in. These serve
several functions and are intended to facilitate the exact alignment of the speakers in any operational situation.
The contoured surface allows axis tilting either forward or back without obstruction of the base port or cable entry.
The material is natural rubber, as used in proprietary shock mounts and isolation pads, therefore care should be taken
when adjusting the angle of the EGGs within the nests as excessive movement without first lifting the speakers may
result in marking of the EGGs.
When everything is optimised the centre image will appear very solid and slightly forward of the main stereo balance.
A mono mix should be absolutely solid with no impression of smearing to one side or the other. It should be noted
that there are many factors that can affect stereo balance so the EGG will often show up phase and polarity issues with
the rest of the system. That is what monitors are for!
