Positioning
The SM9 are designed for near field and mid field monitoring and should be placed at a distance between 1 and 4 metres from
the listener, pointing towards the listening position. They can be positioned on the console top or placed on appropriate stands.
In any way it is recommended that the tweeter is at a height from the floor approximately equivalent to that of the listener’s ears.
Running in
As in all brand new loudspeaker the drivers need some run in period: they are mechanical elements demanding a little time to
settle and adapt to the climatic environment This period will vary depending of the working conditions and may take up to a few
weeks. Avoid pushing the speakers very hard during their first hours of use, but to accelerate the run-in process it is good practice
to operate the speakers at moderate levels for 20 hours or so, with programmes having significant low frequency content. Only
once the transducers have come to stabilize will you get the optimum performance.
