3.1

General recommendations

Please make sure that there are no obstacles in the way from the monitor to your ears.
You should be able to see the speakers completely.
The loudspeakers should be aligned with the listener's position.
Please note that vibrating parts of nearby objects can mask the sound.
Mechanical adjustments: If you plan to modify the speaker cabinet (e.g. drilling
holes), please contact us before doing so. Usually, we will handle your warranty
obliging.

Flush mounting the monitors

Should you consider to flush mount your monitors, this would bring some acoustical
benefits. Cabinet edge diffraction and also low frequency reflections that would
normally occur from the wall behind the speaker can be avoided that way. The result is
an improved mid and low frequency response.
Regarding the orientation of the monitors please make sure the acoustical axis of each
monitor points directly to the listening position. In larger control rooms the monitors
should be angled in the vertical plane so that the acoustic axis meets in the middle of
the standing and seated listening position. In the horizontal plane the monitors should
be placed according to the standard stereophonic (60° between L/R channels) or
multichannel (ITU-R BS.775-1) setup recommendations.
For further information on installation we recommend contacting an acoustics
specialist or a professional recording studio design/construction company.
