FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SPEAKERS, PLEASE READ
THE FOLLOWING ADVISES PRIOR TO INSTALLATION THOROUGHLY
AND CAREFULLY.
1.
The two units and the listener should basically align to form a regular triangle.
2.
Position the speakers so that the top of the woofers are level with your ears in a
normal listening environment.
3.
Place the speakers vertically with the woofer at the bottom. Placing horizontally
is not recommended.
4.
Setting up a 2.1 - System (with additional Subwoofer). The Baboon Series allows
you to add a Subwoofer (e.g. Turbo10s). In two channels with Subwoofer applica-
tions, the common listening distance is generally 1 to 1.5 meters from the left
and right speakers. The speakers should be placed on the position of the listener
and the two speakers form an equilateral triangle refer to the diagram. Left 30
degree to listening position – Subwoofer centered - Right 30 degree to listening
position. Connect the single outputs of your audio interface or your surround
encoder with the speakers.
5.
In 5.1 Surround Sound production, the listening distance for all speakers from
any speaker is typically 1.5 to 2 meters. The placement of the left and right
speakers should form an equilateral triangle with the mix position. The center
speaker should be placed half way between the left and right speakers at
exactly the same distance from the mix position. The left surround and right
surround speakers should be placed the same distance as the left, center and
right speakers, and positioned 110 degrees to 150 degrees relative to the center
speaker. The distance and position of the subwoofer can be adjusted to produce
best bass response in the room. Refer to the following diagram. When installing
the subwoofer, make sure that standing waves are reduced as much as possible
by the characteristic resonances of the listening room (room modes). Move the
subwoofer in the room back and forth and seek a position where the Sound not
blaring or undefined sounds. If they work in the studio, a set-up has proven to be
on the same axis as the studio monitors as a good solution. Move the subwoofer
also for these inventories on the axis back and forth until the sound defined and
appear powerful. In some cases, when it comes to cancellations it is necessary
to operate the Phase reverse switch on the back. If you note a significantly more
pressure and directness result, the position of the phase reverse switch is correct.
SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
1.
For optimal performance of the Baboon series, please read the following thoroughly and carefully prior to
installation.
2.
Unpacking: Please do not touch the speaker cones. The Baboon set is packaged in the box tightly, so your
attention is required when taking the monitors out of the boxes. To avoid possible damage to the speaker
units, hold both sides of the monitor in order to pull it out of the box. The speaker cones should not be
touched in order to avoid damage even after they are out of the box.
3.
Placement: Placing the speakers is one of the most important procedures in order to monitor sound
accurately. To monitor with the Baboon performing to their maximum capability, an appropriate listening
environment and correct placement are required. Please refer to the following for correct Baboon
placement.

REMARKS:
Do not place any obstacles that may block the flow of air in front or between the speakers.
Also remove reflective materials such as glass, mirrors or metal from the listening environment. Place those materials
away from the path of the sound from the Monkey Banana speakers. To eliminate or reduce electrical interference noises
make sure signal and power lines are preferably not installed parallel to each other.
For optimal performance we suggest to use always shielded high quality audio cables.
