Monitoring Distance = 1 to 2 meters
After carefully unpacking the PM0.4
Professional Studio Monitor, it is now
time to setup the monitors for the best
acoustic performance in your studio.
The PM0.4 was designed to be used
at amonitoring distance of 1 to 2 meters,
typically referred to as the near-field.
Monitoring Height = the acoustic
center aimed at seated ear height
It is recommended that the PM0.4 be
located in such a way that the acoustic
center is located at, or about, seated ear
height (see Figure 1). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to tilt/aim
the monitor at the listeners ears.
Monitoring Angle = 60 Degrees
The monitoring angle between the left
and right monitors and the listening
position should equal 60 degrees. The
easiest way to determine this is to place
the speakers in such a way that the
distance between the left and right
monitor is equal to the monitoring
distance / listening position (see Figure
2). It is also recommended that both
speakers be "toed-in" towards the
listening position.
Additional Information
The PM0.4 was designed to be mounted
vertically. This provides for the most
accurate frequency response, reduces
acoustic boundary interference and
provides optimum cooling performance
for the heat sink that is located on the
back of the studio monitor. If it is not
possible to mount the monitors vertically,
then the monitors should be placed with
the woofers inside and the monitors
"toed-in" towards the listening area.
