Alesis M1 ACTIVE - Horizontal Placement

Speaker
Installdon
Horizontal
Placement
Recomnendation
Traditionally,
proper
horizontal
placemmt
of speaker
systems
slightly
behind
(not
m)
a meter
bridge accomplished
two purposes:
it allowed
both woofer
and tweeter
to be
at ear level, and
many
times,
it permitted
the recording
engineer to
see over the
speakers
and into
the studio.
Horizontal
placement
is a recommended
arrangement
with the
M1 Active
because
the left
and right mirror-imaged
pair pemrits
a symmetrical
alignment
of drivers and
ports. This will
be conducive
to a
balanced mix. See
Figure 2 below,
Proper
tweeter orimtation
is toward
the
stereo
image
center
(the
middle)
as shown.
Ports are always
faced
toward the
bottom side of the
cabinet. This set-up
will
promote a strongly
focused center
inage
such as for the vocalist. And
because the
(vocal)
image width
will be narrower
than if the speakers
are
placed
vertically,
it
will
be possible to place
the vocalist with great precision
at stage center.
ln this
orientation there will
be mudr
less
drance of first reflections
from either
sidewalls or
the
console colorhg your mix.
