3. Placement
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 08 utilizing their maximum
capabilities, an appropriate listening environment and a correct placement are important.
Typically you would be using 2 units of uniK 08 as one stereo pair – or more in surround setups
(i.e. in a 5.1 setup you would use 5 units of uniK 08 together with a subwoofer).
Stereo / 2.0 Positioning
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. Each distance x should be
identical.
Stereo with Subwoofer / 2.1 Positioning
In a stereo setup with an added subwoofer, the subwoofer speaker should be positioned ideally in
the exact middle in front of the listener (with the same distance x). If this is not possible, it should
be as close to that position as possible.
