concerning speaker placement is about the speaker’s off axis (to
the side, away from the front) amplitude and phase response.
The natural laws of physics cause all speakers having multiple
drivers to exhibit some off axis response changes. This largely has
to do with the way the signals from each driver combine when the
distance from each driver to the listener changes as the listener
moves around. Knowledge of this can be useful for obtaining the
widest listening area. The sides of the Monitor Two having the
most uniform off-axis response are shown in Figure 5 below:
Figure 5
Uniform (smoothest) off-axis response occurs in the direction of the high and midrange drivers
By knowing which sides of the speaker produce the smoothest off-
axis response, you can locate your speakers so that the widest
range of normal listener body motions will keep the listener’s ears
in the speaker’s most accurate “sweet zone”. An example of this
would be to allow for body movement necessary to reach the
controls on a typical console or to permit more than one listener to
critically monitor mixes.
The Monitor Twos are completely covered with a non-slip rubber
textured laminate and feature corner protectors. If you need to
move the Monitor Two cabinets or adjust their position slightly,
lift them off the mounting surface first rather than attempting to
slide them.
