Setting up your SX series active studio monitor system
Speaker Orientation
The SX series can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position.
When using the monitors in the horizontal position, be certain to place
the left and right side tweeters on the outer most sides. (As Figure 2
shown). This will improve the stereo imaging and bass response by
increasing the coupling of the low-end drivers.
Reflection
When choosing the height of your monitor system, be careful to avoid
reflections off the surface of the mixing console (As Figure 3 shown).
These reflections arrive at the listening position slightly delayed from
the original sound resulting in strange cancellations and overall
unpredictable response. Visualize straight lines representing the
beams of sound radiating from the monitors and choose a height that
reduces the occurrence of reflections that will end up in the prime
listening spot (As Figure 4 shown). In most cases, the ideal position is
slightly behind and above the mixing console's meter bridge.
