The HS-series speakers are also an excellent choice for

direct connection to your electronic keyboard or other

electronic musical instrument.

Speaker Placement

Speaker placement is one of the most important

considerations when setting up a monitor system, but it is

all too often overlooked with the result that performance is

seriously compromised. Admittedly the obstacles to

perfect speaker positioning in the small studio are

formidable. Having the space available to place your

speaker system so that it can provide optimum

performance is a luxury, but it is deﬁnitely worth the time

spent doing a little experimentation and measuring to

make the most of limited resources. The difference can be

astounding. The basics are the same whether you’re

setting up a stereo or 5.1 surround system.

Proximity to

Walls and Corners

For the most accurate response your speakers should be

positioned away from walls and especially corners, which

can play havoc with a speaker’s frequency characteristics. A

minimum of about 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) away from

walls would be ideal, but in reality they’ll probably end up

being placed on a desktop and pushed up against a wall.

Just keep in mind that fact that the closer you get to walls

and corners the more exaggerated the speaker’s bass

response is likely to become, and some compensation —

whether you compensate mentally or use some

equalization — will probably be required. The HS50M and

HS80M speakers make this easy by providing a ROOM

CONTROL switch that modiﬁes the speaker’s bass

characteristics to compensate for the exaggeration caused

by nearby walls. As your speakers get closer to the walls

you might ﬁnd that setting the ROOM CONTROL switch

to the “-2” or “-4” setting gives you more natural response

in the bass range. As a reference, remember that you’re

trying to approach the way the speakers sound when

they’re located more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from

the nearest walls.

Symmetry

As we’ve just learned, the response of a speaker can

change drastically according to where it is placed in

relation to surfaces. So what happens if one of your

speakers is up against a wall and the other is out in the

open? Rest assured that the results will not be good, and

will deﬁnitely not be conducive to producing good mixes.

You’ll have totally different response from your left and

right speakers, making it next to impossible to create a

well-balanced mix, or even position tracks accurately in the

stereo sound ﬁeld. So whatever you do, if you’re serious

about your sound make sure that your speakers are located

as symmetrically within your listening environment as

possible. Use a tape measure to ensure that your speakers

are the same distance from the side and rear walls. Large

objects can throw the acoustic symmetry of a room off

balance, too. It’s also important to be aware of the location

of doors and windows. It is not always possible to achieve

ideal symmetry, but it’s worth getting as close as possible.
