Setting up your speakers
General recommendations for the set up:
• The speakers should be positioned on firm ground or a stand. Vibrating parts
of nearby objects can mask the sound.
• Normally it is advised to set them up in the horizontal position:
A and B speakers
• there are 2 kinds of HM3´s. To avoid interferences between the woofers of the
HM3 one of the units stops at 150 Hz, like a built in subwoofer, the other one
goes up to 1800 Hz. You find an A or B label on the back side of the monitors.
The A means that the subwoofer is on the left side if you look at the unit from
a listening positon, the B speaker has it on the right side. You can use A as the
left speaker, then you have a subjectively smaller basis. If you use it as the
right speaker the basis will be somewhat broader. There is no rule or fixed
proposal when or where the speakers sound better, please try it out for
yourself.
But:
• Don´t use 2 A-speakers or 2 B-speakers in a stereo set up, the imaging will
suffer!
• If the speakers are in a vertical position - as indicated below - please position
both panels readable. You will get the most linear frequency response on different
listening positions that way.
