Horizontal Placement Recomnendation
Traditionally, proper horizontal placemmt of speaker systems slightly behind (not m)
a meter bridge accomplished two purposes: it allowed both woofer and tweeter to be
at ear level, and many times, it permitted the recording engineer to see over the
speakers and into the studio.
Horizontal placement is a recommended arrangement with the M1 Active because
the left and right mirror-imaged pair pemrits a symmetrical alignment of drivers and
ports. This will be conducive to a balanced mix. See Figure 2 below,
Proper tweeter orimtation is toward the stereo image center (the middle) as shown.
Ports are always faced toward the bottom side of the cabinet. This set-up will
promote a strongly focused center inage such as for the vocalist. And because the
(vocal) image width will be narrower than if the speakers are placed vertically, it will
be possible to place the vocalist with great precision at stage center. ln this
orientation there will be mudr less drance of first reflections from either sidewalls or
the console colorhg your mix.
