4.5 Tweeter at the height of ears
The Tweeter should be positioned approximately
at the height of your ears. If the speaker does not
point right in your direction, you might lose sound
information.
In case you need to position the speaker in a
significant lower or higher position, the monitor
should be angled accordingly.

The Stereo Triangle

If the loudspeaker is going to be used for stereo ap-
plications, the optimum listening position should be
at the top of an imaginary equilateral triangle with the
two loudspeakers should be placed at the other two
points of this triangle.
The loudspeakers should be aligned with the listener's
position.

Surround Placement

Speaker positioning for multi-channel stereo purposes
is ideally based on a circle with speakers placed at 0°
(Center), 30° (Front Right), 110° (Rear Right), 250°
(Rear Left), 330° (Front Left), with the listener being
the circle's center (Radius between 0.7-2.0 m). This
ITU recommended configuration may vary depending
on the purpose of the control room (music or film).
However, it is recommended to create a symmetrical
listening position with the front side and surround
speaker pointing to the listener's ear.
The distance to the surrounding walls should be at
least 40 cm to avoid early reflections, which can
degrade the sound.
