Positioning
The acoustic center of the MicroMain26 is located at the center of the tweeter. The MM26 is designed
to work equally well as a nearfield or mid-field monitor. The minimum recommended listening
distance is 1 meter (39.4”). This provides enough distance so the sound waves from the individual
drivers can coalesce and the speaker sounds like a single source. While speaker positioning can often
be dependent on the nature of the room, a good starting point is to create an equilateral triangle
between the two speakers and the listening position. The speakers should be angled inward so the
tweeter axes aim towards the listener’s ears, crossing a few inches behind the head.
A “typical” placement scenario might have the speakers positioned 2 feet (60cm) from the front wall,
the tweeters at ear level and the speakers and listening position forming an equilateral triangle with
5 feet (150cm) sides. However, every room has its unique characteristics. Therefore, the optimal
listening distances, speaker height and distances from walls are a matter for experimentation. The
MM26 is well equipped to work at a variety of listening distances.
The horizontal cabinet orientation yields the widest horizontal dispersion and “sweet spot.” Since we
tend to move around much more from left to right than from sitting to standing, a wide sweet spot is
usually more useful than a tall sweet spot. Therefore, the horizontal cabinet orientation is preferred.
