not have to be centered exactly between the two satellites. The subwoofer
can be moved back a bit so that it is at the same distance from the listening
position as the satellites. This guarantees all transducers are aligned in time.
4.5. Multichannel Setup (5.1)
The most common 5.1 systems consist of three front channels (left, right
and center), two surround channels (left/right) and a subwoofer for the
low frequencies. The speakers from a circle around the listening position.
Ideally, a 5.1 system would comprise five EVE Audio SC407 or SC408
monitors plus an EVE Audio TS110 or TS112 subwoofer. However, you
might also want to consider the following combinations: Front: SC407,
Center: SC407, Rear: SC307; or Front: SC408, Center SC408, Rear: SC407.
The positioning of the two front speakers and the subwoofer should be
done in the same manner as in a stereo setup with a subwoofer (see “Stereo
Setup + Subwoofer“).
Place the center monitor directly in front of the listening position, i.e. right
in the center between both front satellites.

The rear satellites should form an isosceles triangle with the listening
position forming an angle of 140º.
Verify that all speakers are at the same distance from the listening position,
so that they are aligned in time.
4.6. Mixer/Workplace Reflections
Regardless of whether the monitors are to be used in a recording studio
with a mixing desk and meter bridge or in a desktop environment,
hard surfaces can produce annoying reflections that alter the natural
reproduction of the loudspeakers. Especially in the low-mid frequency
range.
If this is the case with your setup, use the Desk Filter of your EVE Audio
monitors to reduce the impact of the reflections from the desk or mixer.
4.7. Room Acoustics
In order for the described measures to work effectively, we recommend
that you put special attention to the room acoustics. The size, contents,
wall parallelism, proportion, and reflective behavior of the room, as well
as the corners, the building materials and their characteristics play a very
important role in the acoustics of a room.
