Speaker brstallation - Chapter 2
Alesis has designed the Point Sevens for vertical mounting.
If, however, you need to keep their height profile as low as possible to minimize the
recording engineer's visual obstructions, they may be mounted horizontally. If used
this way, they should be installed with the tweeters towards the outside (see below)
The Point Sevens are completely covered with a non-slip rubber textured laminate
whereas other speakers provide small stick-on pads (or nothing at all) to keep them
from slipping around while they are playing.
If you need to move the Point Sevens
or adjust their position slightly, lift them off the mounting surface first rather than
attempting to slide them.
Using The Port Plugs
The low frequency responce of the Point Sevens can be custom tailored by using the
four (supplied) port plugs. If they are used by themselves, without any outside bass
augmentation (i.e. a subwoofer), then the ports should be left open. This will give a
3dB bass boost between 90Hz and 130H2 and result in a
".balanced" sound.
If, however, you want the most
"accurate"
sound and are willing to sacrifice bass
response below 100H2, then insert the plugs. This will give slightly less apparmtbass
but the sound will be tighter and very well damped. When used with a subwoofer,
the Point Seven's plugs should always be used. If the ports are left open and a
subwoofer is used, the resulting sound will have a bloated, unnatural midbass.
