The listening triangle
Careful consideration should also be given to the physical spacing between
the speakers. Alesis recommends that the distance between the speakers
equal the distance between the listener and either speaker. In other words,
the listener and the two speakers are at the three corners of an equilateral
triangle. Figure 3 shows this concept. Note that both speakers are turned in
somewhat, so that the prime listening position is directly out in front of each
speaker. Applications that require monitoring by more than one engineer
are accommodated by a smaller rotation of the cabinets. This will widen the
prime listening position somewhat.
