Ideally, your listening position and the two monitors form an equilateral triangle. In other words, the distance between the left and right speakers and the distance from each speaker to the back of your head should be equal. A tape measure, a piece of string, or even a guitar cable will help you set up this triangle. There are some recommended starting measurements for the triangle, but it is most important that each side is the same length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Speaker Placement and Geometry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Studio monitors sound their best when listened to on-axis. Make sure the monitors point directly at, actually slightly behind, your head. High frequencies are more directional than lower frequencies. You may not hear the high frequencies accurately if you are listening to speakers pointing too far off-axis. This may differ for a particular speaker, but in general, we want the speakers to point directly towards our ears\u2014and we want to minimize the high frequencies that bounce off the side walls. As for height, ideally, the tweeters should be at the same height as your ears when you are seated, typically about 47-55 inches (120-140 cm) from the floor. You can place speakers slightly higher and tilt them down towards you if you need to clear the top of your computer monitor. Tilting speakers is a precarious way to set up the monitors, and care must be taken to avoid the speakers toppling over.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"539\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-uploads.imgix.net\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-20-at-16.51.17.png?auto=compress%2Cformat\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-uploads.imgix.net\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-20-at-16.51.17.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=539 539w, https:\/\/blog-uploads.imgix.net\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-20-at-16.51.17-400x290.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=400 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Positioning your head inside the triangle ensures a natural stereo \u201csweet spot\u201d that lets you move around a bit and even have a collaborator sit next to you.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Noted acoustician Carl Tatz recommends nearfield speakers be spaced 67.5 inches (171.5 cm) apart, but even he agrees that this is only a starting point. Most recording consoles are about 48 inches (122 cm) deep. For speakers sitting on the console\u2019s meter-bridge, this setup creates an equilateral triangle with its focal point just behind the mixer\u2019s head. This geometry produces a natural stereo image and sound will seem to exist in the room, rather than coming directly from the speakers themselves. If you have a small desk, speaker stands will help position the speakers to create the optimum geometry. If your room forces you to sit closer to your front wall, you can simply move the monitors closer together to achieve something close to an equilateral triangle. If your speakers are physically large, a larger triangle will probably make sense, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Can You Place Speakers Against the Wall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to place your monitors either almost against the front wall or at least 43 inches (110cm) away from the front wall. If your speakers are placed close to the front wall, the wall will exaggerate their bass response by up to 6 dB. For this reason, many monitors provide onboard EQ settings such as <em>whole-space<\/em> (flat EQ for placement away from any walls), <em>half-space<\/em> (slight bass reduction for placement near the front wall), and <em>quarter-space<\/em> (increased bass reduction for placement near front corners). Many monitors also provide additional EQ options, which can further tailor the speakers\u2019 sound to compensate for deficiencies in the listening environment. Keeping symmetry in mind, keep the left and right speakers equidistant from their respective side walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For rear-ported speakers, just keep the speakers away from the wall at least the same distance as the diameter of the port, usually about 5 to 10 centimeters. If you place your speakers with their front surface more than 15 inches (38 cm) and less than 44 inches (110 cm) from the front wall run the risk of creating uneven bass response due to low-frequency reflections from the front wall. Similarly, try to place your speakers at least 44 inches from their nearest side wall. When speakers must sit near a side wall or a corner, try the quarter-space EQ setting on the speaker to mitigate any extra bass build-up. You will, of course, need some acoustic treatment on the front and side walls, so leave at least a few inches for that.

Locating the speaker in-between will cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonarworks.com\/blog\/learn\/should-you-place-speakers-against-the-front-wall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speaker-boundary-interference<\/a> (SBIR) that can cause low-frequency cancellations. (For more info on SBIR, see link at the bottom of this article)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Even with optimal studio monitor placement, every room introduces frequency response anomalies that positioning alone can&#8217;t eliminate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonarworks.com\/soundid-reference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SoundID Reference<\/a> measures your speakers&#8217; actual in-room response with a calibration microphone and applies real-time correction \u2014 flattening peaks and dips that placement and treatment leave behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Setting up A Subwoofer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Subwoofers are non-directional, so placement is a bit less critical. A trick to help find a good location for a sub is to temporarily put the subwoofer in your listening position and crawl around the room to find where the bass sounds best, mark that location and place your subwoofer there. Your subwoofer may have a cutoff or crossover frequency control, adjust this to match the bass roll-off of your particular main monitors. Refer to your monitors and subwoofer user guides to determine their optimal crossover frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of a subwoofer is to take away the hard work of creating low frequencies from the smaller main speakers, so if the crossover point is set too low, perhaps below 70Hz, some smaller main monitors may still struggle to handle the low frequencies. Conversely, subwoofers are not meant to handle anything but bass, so if you set your crossover above 100Hz, there\u2019s a good chance your ears will be able to locate the sub and your stereo image may suffer. One question I often hear is \u201cis one subwoofer enough?\u201d Good question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally we run into the problem of localizing a sub, which is hearing the precise location of a single subwoofer, and some people find this distracting. Two solutions can help with this situation. You can lower the crossover point to a frequency where you no longer localize the sound. This only works if your main speaker can handle frequencies well below 70 Hz. The second solution, which costs a bit more, but works very well, is to utilize two subwoofers and place them below the main speakers. This effectively creates a multi-way speaker on each side so that the subs\u2019 energy comes from the same location as your main speakers. The limitation here is space and money.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Speaker Isolation Pads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider decoupling your speakers from their stands or the desk surface they are resting on. Otherwise, the desk or stands might vibrate and effectively absorb or amplify certain frequencies. Speaker isolation pads help mitigate vibrations and resonances by absorbing the vibrations before they can transfer to the furniture. Simple and inexpensive isolation pads use dense foam, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/auralex.com\/shop\/iso-series\/studio-monitor-isolation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Auralex Mopad<\/a>, while multi-layer isolators, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primacoustic.com\/product\/recoils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Primacoustic\u2019s Recoil Stabilizers<\/a>, provide even more isolation. Other more sophisticated isolators, like those from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.isoacoustics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IsoAcoustics<\/a>, use techniques like non-resonant spring systems and provide isolation as well as height adjustment. At a minimum, moving your speaker off of your desk and onto stands will provide some amount of isolation and you won\u2019t feel the speaker vibrations through your work surface. Additionally placing speakers on stands provides you with a better opportunity to fine-tune the positioning of the speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Careful monitor placement and isolation will ensure that what you hear is the most accurate sound your speaker system can produce. Once your setup is optimized, you can employ electronic room correction, like Sonarworks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonarworks.com\/soundid-reference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SoundID Reference<\/a>,to really dial in the final touches to your monitors.
