For both stereo and surround mixing your position in
relation to the main front speakers — the "sweet spot" as
it's often called — should be one apex of an equilateral tri-
angle. In other words your distance from either speaker
should be the same as the distance between the two
speakers. The speakers should also be "toed in" to the cor-
responding 60° angle so that the drivers are aimed directly
at the listening position. The height of the speakers should
be such that the tweeters are roughly aligned with your
ears (this is because high frequencies are the most direc-
tional).
Fine-tuning for Stereo
The speaker LEVEL controls should be set to the same level. A setting of about 12 o'clock corresponds to a nominal
input level.
Since no subwoofer is being used in this setup, if your speakers have a LOW CUT switch, set it to "FLAT" (the MSP7
STUDIO has a LOW CUT switch).
For accurate monitoring set the LOW TRIM switch to "0". If you want to reduce the low-frequency level a bit set the
switch to "-1.5".
For accurate monitoring set the HIGH TRIM switch to "0". This switch can be set to "-1.5 dB" to attenuate the highs
slightly if you find the sound too bright.
