SYSTEM SETUP
Overall system setup is crucial to avoid unnecessary room acoustic interaction. A
room's natural acoustics may alter the sound level at various frequencies due to
abnormal dampening or reflections. Follow the checklist below for more details.

The system setup (studio monitors and work table) should be placed within the
front 1/3 of the room. Doing so will reduce reflection buildup of peak frequencies.

The left and right sides of the system setup should be centered an equal distance
from the left and right walls. This will produce even mid and low frequency
response and preserve stereo imaging.

Avoid a listening position (your ears) that is closer than 1 meter (3 feet) from any
wall. Also avoid large objects (such as lamps or decorations) near the studio
monitor and listening position.

Diffusers and absorption
remove room interaction by preventing reflections.

Carpeting will help prevent reflections from hard floor surfaces.

Studio monitor isolators (foam or rubber pads) will help remove low frequency
coupling between the stands and desk. Low frequency coupling will cause the
stand or desk to vibrate causing unwanted sounds.

A low noise floor (no outside interference from refrigerators or fans) is important
to prevent the masking of low frequency detail. Rattles due to studio monitor
playback should be removed as well.
Within the system setup, the studio monitors and listening placement should be
positioned in a near field configuration as follows:
The left and
approximately I to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) apart and
directed at a 60 degree angle towards the listening
location. Measure the distance between the left and right
studio monitors and note the listening position is equal
distance to both sides. This will form an equilateral
triangle. It is important
monitors are level matched.
The ROKIT is a two-way studio monitor with a tweeter
(producing high frequencies) and a woofer (producing
mid and low frequencies) in one enclosure. In between
the tweeter and woofer is the acoustic axis point where
the full frequency
location for the acoustic axis point is located at ear level in
the listening position. It is acceptable to angle the studio
monitors so the acoustic
