Sat 5 Mkii Mounting And Placement - BLUE SKY ProDesk SAT 5 MK II Owner's Manual

6. SAT 5 MK II Mounting
& Placement
Monitor mounting and placement is often an afterthought, but in order to get
the best imaging and overall performance from the SAT 5 MK II, it is important
to place the speakers correctly.
Monitoring Height:
Figure 2 shows the ideal monitoring height, with the SAT 5 MK
II located perfectly at seated ear height. If this is not possible,
tilting the cabinet at the listening area can improve high-frequency
coverage.
Monitoring Angle:
The recommended position for the monitors is based on an ITU
standard and sets the speakers at 60 degrees from the listener,
forming an equilateral triangle (a triangle with equal sides) - See
Figure 3. Fortunately, this setup eliminates most of the math and
is easily simplified to the following guidelines: If you want to sit 2
meters from the speakers, place the speakers 2 meters apart. If you
want to sit 9 ft. from the speakers, place the speakers 9 ft. apart
Etc.
Wall Mount Options:
The SAT 5 MK II is compatible with OmiMount® 30 Series brackets,
via the M6 X 12 inserts located in the bottom of the cabinet.
The OmniMount® type 30 brackets are designed to support up
to 30 pounds of weight when properly installed. Please visit
www.omnimount.com for more information, including detailed
mounting instructions. Please see page 14 [Cabinet Dimension] for
more information on insert locations.
