ACOUSTIC CENTER
Finding the “Acoustic Center” is accomplished by positioning the
monitors so coherent arrival of the transducers occurs at ear level. The
Acoustic Center is located 3 to 4 feet in front of the monitor, measuring
perpendicularly from the center point of the cabinet (midway between
the woofer and tweeter). Our tests have shown that a flat phase and
frequency response occurs just above and below the Acoustic Center
with the minimum and maximum height spanning between the
tweeter dome and woofer dust cap.
MOUNTING
The monitor may be mounted on a wall or ceiling, using suitable mounting hardware. The base of the monitor includes
mounting inserts designed for use with “OmniMount Systems®” or equivalent mounting products

.
If you mount the monitors to a wall or ceiling, you must take special care to mount them securely to prevent them from
falling and causing damage or injury. Make sure that the mounting hardware (fasteners and connectors) and the surface
you are mounting to are each capable of securely holding the monitor in place even if it is struck or moved. Make sure
the mounting hardware, fasteners, and connectors are rated for an object at least as heavy and bulky as the monitor.
Use good judgement and common sense throughout all phases of the installation and use mounting techniques
appropriate for the surface you select. Use the mounting hardware according to the manufacturer's recommendation
and provide adequate reinforcement to the monitors if needed. Do not mount the monitor only to drywall – make sure
the fasteners are secured to a stud, joist, or other structural support. If appropriate, use a secondary support for added
safety – a properly installed safety cable provides an extra margin of safety and can be installed out of sight easily.
