Stereo position
We recommend positioning the monitors to form an equilateral triangle with the listening area. The listener
being at one corner and the left and right monitors at the other two corners (fig. G). The pure Beryllium
inverted dome tweeter has one major advantage: its very low directivity. When using the monitors at less
than 1.5 m (5 ft) away, it is highly recommended to widen the stereo image by increasing the distance
between the two monitor speakers (the distance from tweeter to tweeter) to between 1.8 m and 2 m (6 ft
and 6.5 ft) so as to balance integration constraints and working precision.
If needed, point the tweeters outwards to increase the width of the stereo image.

Multichannel position
When using a 5.1 configuration, we recommend positioning
the monitors around the listener so that the monitors are
equal distance away from the listening position. Position the
centre channel at 0°, the front right channel at 30°, the back
right channel at 110°, the back left channel at 250° and the
front left channel at 330° (fig. H).
