Connection and getting started 17
Open installation:
If the speaker is installed in an open
environment, one of the 3 following
switch positions should be chosen.
For living room typical listening dis-
tances, the position “LIN” should be
chosen, for nearfield listening condi-
tions (appr. 1 m), “NF” fits best. For
an appr. Listening distance of 2 m,
midfield (“MF”) would be ideal.
Nearfield installation (e.g. on a mix-
ing console):
For this special variant, an addi-
tional equalization for positioning
the speakers on a boundary surface
(e.g. a side board or a mixing con-
sole) is added.
Close-to-wall installation (e.g. on a
speaker stand or on a wall console):
When placing a speaker close to the
wall the sound pressure level espe-
cially in the bass range is increas-
ing. This often leads to a smeary or
bubbly bass sound. In this case the
position “MF / OW” should be cho-
sen which counteracts this effect.
Installation in a rack / on a shelf:
For the installation in an on-wall-
rack there are similar rules as for the
close-to-wall
installation (see
above).
On the other hand, for free in the
room located racks (partitions) there
are similar rules as for the open in-
stallation.
