KRK EXPOSE E8B - Manual (Page 9)

2-Channel Setup
Close-Field Configuration: In a control room, the monitors are frequently placed on the
meter bridge or in a close-field listening position. Initial placement starts by measuring out
a simple equilateral triangle (all three sides equal in length) with the apex at the center of
the listening position (as shown in Figure 1) as an “overlay” for the stereo installation. In this
configuration, the Left and Right monitors are each placed at a 60º angle equidistant from
the listening position.
Mid-Field Configuration: This configuration is essentially the same as the Close-Field
setup (see Figure 2). The Mid-Field configuration is normally used with larger monitors or
when the monitors are too large or heavy for the meter bridge, as is likely the case with the
Exposé E8B. This set-up has the potential for a larger sweet spot and better spatial
imaging. Ensure that the height of the woofer is above the height of the console’s meter
bridge.
