    At the heart of the SM6BT is a custom 2-inch wide band ribbon driver that captures the subtlest waveforms and the highest frequencies, allowing you to hear every nuance in your music. Its unique design allows for excellent dispersion over a wide area compared to traditional tweeter designs, resulting in a wider sweet spot with focused vertical dispersion while minimizing surface reflections.

    This high frequency adjustment knob is factory set at 0dB or flat. Adjust this knob accordingly to tailor the sound to your listening preferences. SM6BT Monitor Placement The placement of your SM6BT monitors is one of the most crucial steps to ensure that they perform at their best. Studio/Stereo Application Earthquake suggests placing the monitors within the front 1/3 of the room, about 3 to 5 feet away from each other and directed at a 60 degree angle towards your listening position.
  • Page 9 SM6BT Monitor Placement Cont. Earthquake Sound suggests placing the SM6BT monitors at least 3 feet away to reduce distortion by reflection and diffraction. Be- cause high frequencies are primarily directional, to achieve the most precise monitoring, the SM6BTs should be placed so that the ribbon tweeters are approximately the same height as your ears when seated at your listening position.
