    Make sure that no obstacles are present between the monitors and your ears. You should be able to see the speakers completely. iLoud MTM MKII has been designed for both vertical and horizontal set up. The speakers must be positioned on a firm surface or a stand.

  • Page 22: Desktop Positioning

    MTM MKII Desktop positioning The center of the tweeter should be positioned approximately at the height of your ears. In case you need to position the speakers in a significant lower or higher position, the monitors should be angled accordingly. If the speakers are placed lower than the ear line, you can tilt them using the adjustable foot that also improves the acoustic decoupling of the speakers from the surface.

  • Page 23: Listening Position

    Listening position When you use iLoud MTM MKII for stereo applications, the optimum listening position should be located in the middle of an imaginary triangle. This means that your listening point (sweet spot) will be located at the top of an equilateral triangle and the two loudspeakers should be placed at the other two corners of this triangle.
