Ideally, the monitors should be placed more than 0.5 metres from the side and rear walls of
the room so that reinforcement and cancellation (peaks and dips) of the bass output caused
by wall reections will be moved higher in frequency and thus less inuential. This reduces the
incidence of ‘lumpy’ or ‘boomy’ bass. Small changes in position can have profound effects on
the bass response, so experiment to nd the optimal position.
Bass response
result6 active monitors can produce signicant bass energy below the frequencies at which
they become omnidirectional. As a consequence, it is important to consider the effect of the
boundaries of the listening room when placing the monitors.
