Chapter 2 - Speaker Installation
This kind of speaker placement also couples acoustic energy from the speaker's
cabinet more readily into the console's chassis. Both conditions should be reduced by
placing the speakers on their o. wn standd acoustcally detached,frop, and slightly
behind, the console as shown belort. In this locdtion, the reflective:gath off the
console's control panel is now blocked by the meter bridge.
Moving the monitors to a position behind the meter bridge causes
the bridge to block the offending reflective path
Careful consideration shoutd also be glnen to Se physiicel spacing. betweert the
speakers. Alesis recommends that tlre distanc.e b.*tueen the speakers equal the
distance between the listener and either speaker. In other words, the lisierer and the
two speakers are at the three comers of a triangle havirg equal- length sides. The
Figure below shows this coneept. Note thatboth speakers are turried in somewhat
so that the prime listening position is directly in front of each speaker. Applications
that require monitoring by inot'e than one engineer are accommodated by a smaller
rotation of the cabinets. This will widen the prime listening position somewhat.
The speakers and
listener should be at
the three corners of
a triangle having
equal length sides
