Dynaudio AIR 20 - Checking and Optimizing Monitor Placement

Placing the monitors
Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28 50
General considerations:
symmetry
Basically it is preferred to establish a loudspeaker
layout that provides an adequate and equal left/right
image. The basis for this is symmetry – meaning that
the distance to the left and the right monitor should be
identical and that (unless you are monitoring in the near
eld) the distance from the left and right monitor to the
respective sidewall should be identical, and the side-
walls should be identical.
The AIR System offer tools for compensation – but
whenever possible, symmetry should be established.
