![]() ![]() Walls/Distance to walls: Generally, every wall in relative close distance to the subwoofer enhances its sound pressure by about 6 dB. Furthermore, big reflection faces in close range of the subwoofer should be avoided if possible (for example, guitar cabinets, partition walls, racks).Ģ. Interference means the superposition of two or more waves resulting in an attenuation/cancellation or enhancement of the specific frequency/frequencies. Distance to satellites: In most set ups it is advisable to place the subwoofer not too far from the satellites to minimize the chance of interferences. The aim is to assist you tackling the most frequent problems with subwoofers and room acoustics, notably interference and standing waves.ġ. It does matter.ĭue to the fact that every room (geometry, furniture, etc.) is unique, the following descriptions intend to be a first introduction to the subject. ![]() It is, however, a common misunderstanding that therefore the placement of a subwoofer does not matter. It is common knowledge that low frequencies (below about 100 Hz) are non-directional, meaning they can hardly be located by the listener. However, it is highly recommended to create a symmetrical listening position with the front side and surround speakers pointing at the listener’s ears. This ITU recommended configuration may vary depending on the purpose of the control room (music or film). Speaker positioning for multi-channel purposes is ideally based on a circle with speakers placed at 0° (Center), 30° (Front Right), 110° (Rear Right), 250° (rear Left), 330° (Front Left), with the listener being the circle’s center (5.1 surround setup). The speakers should be aligned with the listener’s position. If the studio monitors are going to be used for stereo applications, the optimum listening position is at the top of an imaginary equilateral triangle with the two speakers to be placed at the other two points of this triangle. A standard value for the height of the listener’s ears is 1,20 m above ground. In case you need to position the speakers in a significant lower or higher position, the studio monitors should be angled accordingly. The acoustic center of your monitor, which is usually just below the tweeter, should be pointing at your ears. For the security of your speakers as well as for acoustic reasons, it is important that they sit firmly on a solid surface. You should be able to see the speakers completely. ![]() Please make sure that there are no obstacles in the way from the studio monitors to your ears. ![]()
