touching the exposed speaker elements. Do not expose the rear panel controls,
connectors, or the speaker elements to moisture or chemicals.

only open if there is another problem.

Place your monitors on a stable surface at about ear level. A typical
location would be slightly behind and to either side of a small console. The
distance between the monitors should equal the distance from the listener to
either speaker. This is the common “equal length triangle” rule for speaker
placement shown in Figure 1.
F IGURE 1. T HE PRIME LISTENING POSITION OR SWEET SPOT .
T HE DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH SPEAKER AND THE MONITORING
POSITION SHOULD BE EQUAL .
Notice that Figure 1 also shows the speaker cabinets turned inward
directly facing the listening position. This puts you in the sweet spot, which
yields the most accurate stereo reproduction. If you need a wider sweet spot to
allow for greater listener movement or for group monitoring, face the speakers
in a slightly more open position, but never more than necessary. Finally, if you
must mount the speakers substantially above or below ear level, then you will
also need to tilt the cabinets downward or upward as well to keep them directly
facing you.
For close-in, personal monitoring situations with the PS5, use the tilt
stand if necessary to raise the radiation main axis.
Once you start using your Event monitors, you may find it helpful to
move around in their soundfield to locate their best position in your
environment, but if you follow the equal distance, ear level, face-on rules,
you’ve already optimized their position for a single user in most situations.
