Mediadesk Mounting And Placement Options - BLUE SKY MediaDesk 2.1 Monitoring System Owner's Manual

7. MediaDesk Mounting
and Placement
Options
Monitor mounting and placement is often an afterthought, but in order to get
the best imaging and overall performance from MediaDesk, it is important to
place the speakers correctly. Figure 7 shows the ideal placement, with the
MediaDesk SAT located perfectly at seated ear height. However, there are
many other ways to mount or place MediaDesk, which can work equally as
well.
Figure 8: Cabinet angled back
Most users of MediaDesk will be using the system around or near a
computer workstation. The design of the MediaDesk SAT takes this
into acount and makes it easy to place the speakers on a typical
desk and have them pointed at the user's ears. The angle of cabinet
also reduces reflections off of the desk, improving imaging and
overall performance.
Figure 9: Cabinet level with baffle hanging over
This drawing shows the MediaDesk SAT being placed so that
cabinet has no up or down angle. This maybe an ideal way to
mount the SATs if you are placing them on a shelf that is at seated
ear height, or a conventional speaker stand with a flat top.
Figure 10: MediaDesk Angle Adjustment Foot
The MediaDesk Angle Adjustment Foot alows you to place the
MediaDesk SAT on a flat surface and adjust the front baffle angel
from 0 degrees (shown in picture) to +5 degrees (baffle angled
down). This drawing illustrates the MediaDesk being placed so
that the cabinet has no up or down angle.
Figure 11: Optional Microphone Stand Adaptor
Although not supplied by Blue Sky International, a standard 5/8" x
27 female to 3/8" x 16 male adapter, allows you to adapt the center
insert on the MediaDesk SAT so that it is compatible with a standard
mike stand, which typically has a 5/8" x 27 fine male thread.
Wall Mount Options (not shown)
The MediaDesk SAT is compatible with two types of wall mount
brackets. The first mounting option is via the 2 1/4 X 20 inserts on
the back of the MediaDesk SAT. These inserts are compatible with
BT Technologies BT-5 Brackets (www.btech-usa.com). It is also
compatible with OmiMounts 10 Series, via the 3/8" X 16 insert
in the bottom of the cabinet (www.omnimount.com). For more
details on these mounting inserts please see page 12 [Satellite
Cabinet Dimensions].
