3. Placement of the speakers
The placement of monitoring speakers is very critical and can compromise their performance. This
is a general rule for every loudspeaker. To monitor with uniK 04 utilizing their maximum
capabilities, an appropriate listening environment and a correct placement are important.
Positioning
In principle, two units and the listener should be positioned or aligned in a regular triangle form.
Please refer to the following diagram to understand how to position your monitors.
Orientation
It’s very important to place the uniK 04 vertically. Never place them horizontally.
Comments
Please also make sure to not place any obstacles that may block the flow of air or that could
generate sound reflections (especially highly reflective material including glass or metal) in front of
the speakers. Also, don’t put plants in pots on top or too close to your monitoring speakers. Keep a
certain distance to the wall behind the speakers, as it could block air flow.
