Loudspeaker Placement
All loudspeakers are influenced by the acoustic of the room in which they are placed. The
negative and positive effects of your listening room can, however, be manipulated to some
extent by careful positioning. Experimentation with placement cannot be overstated.
The MB1 monitors have a very extended low frequency response and therefore do not rely on
close proximity to walls or floors to enhance their low frequency performance. We
recommend a stand height of ten inches. Movement near the rear wall will lift the low
frequency response and can be used to adjust the in-room balance.
An extremely wide dispersion characteristic allows the MB1 to produce precise three
dimensional images in your listening room, height as well as depth and width. Reflections from
hard surfaces near the monitors will, however, impair the image.
Manipulating your monitors placement will eventually reveal a position which gives the
optimum balance between imaging, low frequency level and what is practical to live with!
Running In
All new loudspeakers require a period of running in. This allows for the settling of materials used
in the drive units. The MB1 is no exception to this rule, best results will be achieved from newly
supplied monitors after a period of between 10 and 20 hours running in.
