Installing And Orienting The Speaker-System - Omnitronic PMM-4 Bedienungsanleitung

6.1 Installing and orienting the speaker-system

Nearfield monitors are designed to be installed as closely as possible to the listener. The basic idea is to
create a direct signal path between loudspeaker and ear and to avoid indirect sound. In this way, the monitor
sound can be experienced as original as possible.
Your nearfield monitor's sound is very much influenced by the acoustic surroundings of your room. The room
size directly effects the bass reproduction. The smaller the room, the more powerful the bass. When you feel
that your monitors reproduce too much or too little bass, install them in a different place.
Make sure that the room does not sound to hall-like nor dampened. You can influence your room's acoustics
by installing or removing carpets, curtains or furniture.
In any way, avoid that your monitor's sound-waves hit reflecting surfaces like windows, tiles or walls. Your
studio mixer's surface can also reflect sound-waves. Make sure that you install the monitors slightly higher
and behind the mixer.
Do not direct the monitors in front, but rather rotate them slightliy towards the listener. In order to avoid
reflections from the ceiling or floor, the tweeters should be located as high as your ears.
Depending on your taste or possibilities of installation, you can install the monitors vertically or horizontally.
Keep a minimum distance of 9 cm to the next wall
Install your monitors in an isosceles triangle
where the distances between the speakers and
the listener are the same (a = b = c = ca. 90 cm).
