Figure 4: monitor angle 60 degrees
The easiest way to accomplish this without measuring the angle is to create an equilateral triangle between the
monitors and the listener. In other words, the distance between each monitor should be equal to the distance
from each monitor to the listener. The Core 59 can be positioned with the woofers inside (recommended) or
outside, depending on how the equilateral triangle can be achieved best. Make sure to take measurements from
the acoustic axis of the monitor.
An easy method to do this involves a measuring tape and some string. With the tape measure, check that the
monitors are not placed further away than 3 metres for free field reference listening level.
1. Once you have initially placed the monitors, take the string holding one end at the monitor's acoustic axis and stretch it
out to the listening position.
2. Measure the distance to a single point behind your head where the strings from both sides would meet.
3. Mark this point with a marker.
4. Do this again for the other monitor to ensure that they are both the exact same distance from the listener.
5. Use the string to measure the distance between each monitor. This should also be the same, forming and equilateral
triangle between the two monitors and the listener.
6. Make adjustments as necessary to place the listener and monitors at the same distance from each other.
