Page 13: Positioning & Alignment
However, the excellent stereo imaging which PMC monitors are known for is due, in part, to their wide dispersion characteristic, as shown on the right- hand image. To optimise the stereo imaging, PMC monitors should be angled so that their axes cross about 0.5 metres (2ft) behind the listening position (as illustrated below). - Page 14 Positioning & Alignment Attention should be paid to the effect of reflective surfaces such as side walls and objects in close proximity to the loudspeakers, as excessive nearfield reflections will blur the stereo imaging significantly and may introduce unwelcome colouration of the sound. Place the speakers so that their front baffles are well forward of any objects placed between them, such as computer display screens.
- Page 15 Positioning & Alignment 5.1 Systems IB1S-A monitor has been designed for perfect multi-channel music or movie playback, and the following diagrams indicate the ideal layout for the speakers. • The constraints of room size and shape will often force some loudspeakers to be placed closer or further from the listening position than is ideal.
