Monitor and listening location placement in
a room
Sound is reected by the walls, ceiling and oor. The sound level at the listener
increases when reected sound is in phase with the direct sound. The sound level
decreases when the reected sound is out of phase with the direct sound.
If the room surfaces have not been designed to diract the sound energy, most of
the reected sound energy leaves the reecting wall in the same angle as it arrived
to the wall. Avoid placing the monitors so that the immediate side wall, ceiling,
and oor reections travel towards the listening position.

When room dimensions agree with the sound wavelength, sound energy
accumulates to form resonances. This resonance sound forms standing waves in
the room, with sound pressure maximums and minimums at certain locations in
the room depending on the resonance frequency.
Location of the monitor in the room aects how much the room mode resonances
collect energy and how audible they become. Moving the monitor locations may
help to reduce the levels of problematic room mode resonances.
The listening location may be unfavourably situated relative to the room mode
resonances. If the listening location is at the location of a null for some mode
resonances, the level of those resonances frequencies becomes very low and
