INSTALLATION
ROOM PLACEMENT:
The SM 50Ak has a wide variety of placement options. Shown in Fig. 4 on page 4 is a typical stereo setup for near to
mid-field monitoring. Shown in Fig. 3 is a typical 5 channel setup.
The monitors should be angled to directly face the listener. The center of the high frequency transducer should be on-axis with the ear
level of the listener.
The low frequency compensation settings can be used when speakers are placed in close proximity to walls, corners and work surfaces.
LISTENING DISTANCE:
The common listening position at mixing positions is generally 1 to 1.5 m for near field applications. For mid-field
applications, 2-3 m is more likely. The stereo listening angle is more a matter of personal preference, but we recommend the angle should
be around 60° as shown in Fig. 4 on page 4
MOUNTING OPTIONS:
The SM 50Ak may be wall, table or floor mounted. (Optional) accessories are available.
