TUNED REFERENCE USER GUIDE
Setup
You’ll notice that the Tuned Reference monitors are physically identical.
When used in a stereo configuration, there is no physical or acoustic
distinction between the left and right speakers. Note, too, that the cabinets
can sit vertically or horizontally without regard for performance, so long
as both cabinets are situated in the same direction. When placing them in
a horizontal position, orient the cabinets with the high frequency drivers
pointing to the outside, away from each other. Since each cabinet’s bass
port is front-mounted, you can position the monitors near a wall (or even
in a wall) without fear of blocking the port, which would compromise the
bass response.
Your monitors should be placed on a stable surface at about ear level. A
typical location would be slightly behind and to either side of a small
console. The distance between the monitors should equal the distance
from the listener to either speaker. This is the common “equal length
triangle” rule for speaker placement shown in Figure 1.
Notice that Figure 1 also shows the speaker cabinets turned slightly
inward, so that the driver components directly face the listening position.
When oriented this way, the listener is in the “sweet spot,” which yields the
Figure 1. When the listener and the monitors are positioned in an
equal triangle with the monitors directly facing the listener, the listener is
situated in the “sweet spot,” which yields optimum stereo reproduction.
