The subjective performance of any monitor loudspeaker will be
fundamentally influenced by the acoustic character of the room
in which it is used, and its position within the room. Most often
monitors are installed in rooms which are comfortable to sit and
talk in. A mixture of carpets, curtains and soft furnishings will
help ensure that middle and high frequencies are reasonably well
controlled. There may however, be low frequency problems;
either too much or too little bass. To minimize low frequency
problems the monitors should be kept away from corners or
walls. Start with them positioned around 1 metre from the side
walls and 2 metres from the back. If the balance is bass-light,
the monitors can be moved towards the back walls.
For stereo listening, loudspeakers should be positioned so
they form an equilateral triangle with the listening position
(See
Fig. 1
). Loudspeaker stand height should be chosen to
position the loudspeaker acoustic axis at, or close to ear level.
(See
Fig. 2
).
All rooms vary and it is a good idea to experiment with both
the listening and speaker position until a good compromise is
reached. For professional installations the requirements are often
very specific. Please consult with an experienced professional
acoustician if necessary.
