The Concept Behind Epic 55 Following the release of the Epic 55’s smaller sibling, the Epic 5 near-field monitor, it was a natural step for our next product to be something... Bigger! In the tradition of creating uncompromising products, we continued the effort to develop all relevant parts in-house for the most accurate sound performance. -

Page 5: Setup Recommendations
Epic 55 is a “mid-field” monitor, designed with more low-end power, and intended for larger spaces than our Epic 5 “near-field” monitor. Depending on your studio size, you may need to install Epic 55 in an upright or horizontal position – with each position having unique characteristics. -
Page 6: Ideal Listening Distance & Height
Ideal Listening Distance & Height: Epic 55 is optimized for a listening distance of 1.2 m to 2.5 m, with the tweeter level with the listener’s ears. Vertical/Upright: Horizontal/Flat: Note that when used in a horizontal/flat orientation, the entire speaker cabinet must... -
Page 7: Projection Field Width
Projection Field Width The audio projection field varies depending on the orientation in which the speaker is used. • Vertical/Upright: (Recommended where possible) Projection field is wider horizontally (i.e., side-to-side), and narrower vertically (i.e., up and down). Side View Top View... - Page 8 • Horizontal/Flat: Projection field is wider vertically (i.e., up and down), and narrower horizontally (i.e., side-to-side). The optimal projection angle is significantly smaller than in the vertical setup, and introduces the potential issue of reflections from the ceiling and the work surface being stronger in horizontal operation than in vertical operation.

Page 9: Stereo Image
Stereo Image To achieve perfect stereo imaging please make sure that the position of the speakers – and the listener of course – are located symmetrically in the room, so the distance from left speaker to left wall and right speaker to right wall should be (approximately) similar. -
Page 10: Fire-Tuning & Room Adjustments
On the back side of the cabinet you will find two knobs that allow you to optimize the tuning of the Epic 55. Both Trims cut or boost in a range of ±5 dB in 1 dB steps. The HF- Trim starts above 2.5 kHz, the LF-Trim below 250 Hz. -
Page 11: Sound Level
Sound Level The linearity of human auditory perception is highly dependent of the sound pressure level, and the range for optimal linearity is limited! We recommend a use of 83-86 dB Sound Pressure Level / SPL at the listening position. Staying in this range will ensure you are able to make the right mixing decision for a long period of time. -
