Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 Pro, 8.2 Pro and Pro-Active Near Field Reference Monitors The function of a Reference Monitor Loudspeaker System is to provide an accurate sonic reference for the operator/engineer thus enabling value decisions to be made in the recording and mixing process. The purpose of these devices is not simply to sound exciting, or impressive - only to give an accurate and clean representation of the original sources and recording devices used.
wavelength is around 28ft (8.5m). It is quite possible that at these wavelengths from a single source/woofer both your ears could be in a phase hole. The room may be rattling and shaking, but you would not hear the direct sound only its effect on the space. The opposite is also true. The room and woofer interaction could generate a standing wave that would give up to 6dB of build up at your ears. Thus great care should be taken in placement to find the best location for the speaker.
nominal central aim point is recommended. Again, experiment and find a comfortable median position. Height placement should ideally not be from below, nor typically too high. Be sensitive to early reflections from control surfaces. Careful placement can reduce the destructive effects of reflections, diffraction etc. Be aware of placements that can excite cavity resonances, and look for symmetry from left to right and across the main three screen channels. 5.
make the higher frequencies at crossover, but their light weight means the cone can break up when asked to stop and start over 4,000 times a second at typical crossover frequencies, with resultant “cone cry”, Crossover: 8.1 Pro: internal passive crossover, 2.2kHz 8.1 Pro: internal passive crossover, 2.0kHz 8.1 Pro-Active: internal active crossover, 2.0kHz 8.2 Pro-Active: internal active crossover, 1.
importantly the heat sink assembly. Make sure the heat sink has sufficient clearance to allow reasonable airflow. This will, to some extent, be dependant on the power levels and duty cycles under which one is operating the system. EQ-LF: In the real world, as opposed to the theoretical, loudspeakers operate and interact with the space in which they are used. It is important to understand the low frequency reinforcement that occurs as a result of the relationship of the speaker to walls etc.
Stand Mounting: Depending on the application stand mounting in (near to) free space is one of the most neutral positions for monitors. Of course it is not always possible to take advantage of the isoalation from floor, wall and countertop effects that stands can allow. But combinations of short stand and console can be used to advantage.
