Unpacking; 2-Channel Positioning - Monitor Audio Studio Manuel Utilisateur

Unpacking

Please ensure to allow sufficient clear floor area, and follow all pictorial guides on the product carton. Cut
the tape sealing the carton, taking care not to cut deeper than the tape, fold back the top folds of the
cardboard to expose the polystyrene and remove any accessories, but leaving the polystyrene in place.
With the carton the right way up and opened, turn it over so the polystyrene end cap is now in contact with
the floor. Lift carton up to reveal speaker/s, then lift speaker clear of packaging and remove protective bag.
Setting Up

2-Channel Positioning

When arranging a 2-channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral
triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart. The ideal distance
from the rear wall varies depending on tastes and room acoustics, however, the speakers need to be a
minimum of 3 feet (91cm) from the side walls. They should be sited 8 - 18" from the rear wall depending
on how the bass reacts to the room and your personal tastes.
When setting up the speakers, experimentation is strongly advised, as environmental acoustics and
personal preference differ with every installation. If there is insufficient bass present for example, try moving
your speakers closer to a wall. The opposite approach is recommended if there is excessive bass. If
stereo imaging is being lost, try 'toeing-in' the speakers slightly. The sound should appear to originate from
the centre point between the speakers, not the speakers themselves.
