Genelec 8330 - Monitor Positioning Details; Monitor height; Iso-Pod tilting

6
For typical two-way systems, the recommended height of the monitor acoustical
axis is at the ear level, usually between 1.2 and 1.4 metres from the oor. Placing
the monitors higher with a slight tilt will minimise oor reections. For standard
stereo and multichannel reproduction, do not lift the monitors so high that more
than 15 degrees of tilt is required. Monitors should always be aimed towards
the listening position. The higher the monitor is from the oor, the lower is the
reection induced frequency response irregularities. However, half room height
placement should be avoided, as at low frequencies the ceiling is typically also a
reective surface.
Find the left-right symmetry axis of your room. Place the listening setup
symmetrically in the left-right direction.
