2. Speaker Placement
General recommendations/advises
Direct sound ways: There should be no obstacles in the way from the monitor
to your ears. You should be able to see the speakers completely.
Alignement: The loudspeakers should be aligned with the listener’s position.
Nearby objects: Please note that vibrating parts of nearby objects can mask
the sound.
Tweeter at the height of ears: The tweeters should be positioned approxima-
tely at the height of your ears. In case you need to position the speaker in a si-
gnifi cant lower or higher position, the monitor should be angled accordingly.
Stereo set up
If the loudspeaker is going to be used for
stereo applications, the optimum listening
position should be located in the middle of a
stereo triangle. This means that your listen-
ing position will be located at the top of an
imaginary equilateral triangle and the two
loudspeakers should be placed at the other
two points of this triangle.
Surround set up
Speaker positioning for multi-channel stereo purposes is ideally based on
a circle with speakers placed at 0° (Center), 30° (Front Right), 110° (Rear
Right), 250° (Rear Left), 330° (Front Left), with the listener being the circle’s
center (Radius between 0.7-2.0 m). This ITU recommended confi guration may
vary depending on the purpose of the control room (music or fi lm). However,
it is recommended to create a symmetrical listening position with the front
side and surround speaker pointing to the listener’s ear.
