This kind of speaker placement also couples acoustic energy from the speaker's
cabinet more readily into the console's chassis. Both condidons should'be reduced bv
placing the speakers on their own stands acousdcally detached from, and slightly
behind, the console as shown below. In this location, the reflective path off tie
'
console's control panel is now blocked by the meter bridge.

Moving tlre monitors to a position behind the meter bridge causes
the bridge to block the offending reflective path-
Careful consideration should also be given to the physical spacing between the
speakers. Alesis recommends that the distance between the speakers for stereo
applications equal the distance between the Iistener and either speaker.
In other
words, the listener and the two speakers are at the three comers of a triangle having
equal- length sides. The illustration
below shows this concept. Note that both
speakers are tumed in somewhat, so that the prime listening position is directly in
front of each speaker. Applications
that require monitoring
by more than one
engineer are accommodated by a smaller rotation of the cabinets. This will widen the
prime listening position somewhat.
