1.0 INTRODUCTION You’re thinking, “Come on, a user’s manual for speakers? That’s like a user’s manual for a toothbrush.” You know enough not to plug your speakers into an AC outlet, and you know you should hook them up in phase and then you listen to them. How much more do you need to know? We know these speakers are headed for the prof ...

damping factor, generally a cable with a cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm², or greater is recommended. The lower the resistance of the cable between the amplifier and the speakers, the better the damping factor acting on the speaker. This has been covered in every audio magazine that has ever been written about speakers, so we won’t beat it to dea ...

3.0 PLACEMENT OF THE SPEAKERS Now here’s the truly critical stuff. Speaker placement and the listening environment can completely compromise the performance of any loudspeaker, no matter how much it costs. It is important to understand some limitations of near-field speakers, and the operating environment, in order for you to gain the maximum per ...

In the diagrams below we have a graphical representation of the speaker systems operating at the crossover point where both high and low frequency drivers produce the same output level. The first one shows a pair of two-way loudspeakers lying on their side. Note that each driver is producing sound, and because there is a physical distance separatin ...

Another interesting note, the Tannoy true point-source Dual Concentric© monitors are free from the physical offsets previously described, which means that the behavior of the Dual Concentric monitors will not change in the horizontal, vertical or any other plane you can pick. The other neat thing about Dual Concentric monitors is that no matter ho ...

3.2 Positioning This is the monitor equivalent of a wheel alignment. Where do you aim the speakers to give you the smoothest and most consistent sound, and how far apart do you place them to give you a good stereo image? The basic rule is to follow the layout of an equilateral triangle. The distance between the two monitors should be roughly the sa ...

3.3 Console Reflections The number one killer of smooth near-field monitor response is the mixing console. Most people park their near-field monitors on top of the meter bridge, which makes the console top the most influential reflecting surface for the sound you hear when you’re mixing. How important is that reflection? If it were such a big dea ...

to the speaker’s response, because the ear/brain reads reflections arriving within 10 milliseconds of the direct sound as being part of the speaker’s response, these reflections can pull the stereo image around in different directions at different frequencies. Enough theory, now to the lab. Here’s where we have fun with science. Take the micr ...

3.4 Speaker Mounting You’ve probably got your monitors delicately balanced on your console meter bridge, or sitting on a counter top beside your hard disc editor. Find some music with some real solid low end that you know well. Try listening to this music with the speaker sitting directly on the mounting surface and then with it sitting on a thin ...
