4.4. Stereo Setup + Subwoofer (2.1)
In such a setup, the subwoofer is fed by the stereo signal source. The
subwoofer filters the low frequency components of the stereo channels
and sums them to produce a mono signal which it then reproduces. The
high frequencies are forwarded to the full-range satellite speakers.
Ideally, such a system would comprise two EVE Audio SC207 or SC208
monitors plus an EVE Audio TS110 or TS112 subwoofer. These subwoofers
allow you to set the crossover frequency for the satellite loudspeakers and
the subwoofer.
The positioning of the two satellites should be done in the same manner as
in a stereo setup (see “Stereo Setup”).
The subwoofer should be placed on the ground between both satellites.
Considering that low frequencies are omnidirectional, the subwoofer does
not have to be centered exactly between the two satellites. The subwoofer
can be moved back a bit so that it is at the same distance from the listening
position as the satellites. This guarantees all transducers are synced in
time.
4.5. Multichannel Setup (5.1)
The most common 5.1 systems consist of three front channels (left, right
and center), two surround channels (left/right) and a subwoofer for the
low frequencies. The speakers from a circle around the listening position.

Ideally, a 5.1 system would comprise five EVE Audio SC207 or SC208 and
a TS110 or TS112 subwoofer. Following combinations are also possible:
Front: SC207, Center SC305, Rear: SC207 or Front: SC208, Center: SC307,
Rear: SC208.
The positioning of the two front speakers and the subwoofer should be
done in the same manner as in a stereo setup with subwoofer (see “Stereo
Setup + Subwoofer“).
Place the center monitor directly in front of the listening position, i.e. right
in the center between both front satellites.
The rear satellites should form an isosceles triangle with the listening
position forming an angle of 140º.
Verify that all speakers are at the same distance from the listening position,
so that they are synced in time.
4.6. Mixer/Workplace Reflections
Regardless of whether the monitors are to be used in a recording studio with
a mixing desk and meter bridge or in a desktop environment, hard surfaces
can produce annoying reflections that alter the natural reproduction of the
loudspeakers. Especially in the low-mid frequency range.
