Speaker Placement
Placing speakers is one of the most important
procedures in order to monitor sound accurately.
To monitor with the BX5 Carbons performing to
their maximum capability, an appropriate listening
environment and correct placement are required.
Please refer to the following for correct BX5
Carbon placement.
1. The monitors and the listener should basically
align to form a regular triangle. Refer to the
following diagram.
2. Position the monitors so that the top of the
woofers are level with your ears in a normal
listening environment. Refer to the following
diagram.
3. Place the monitors vertically with the woofer
on the bottom. Placing the BX5 Carbon
horizontally is not recommended.
Remarks: DO NOT place any obstacles that may
block the flow of air in front or between the
monitors. Also remove reflective materials such as
glass, mirrors or metal from the monitoring
environment. PLACE THOSE MATERIALS AWAY
FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND FROM THE
BX5 Carbons.

To provide audio signal at the noise floor level, this studio monitor speaker product should be in the “always on” status for

appropriate for its intended use. When not using this product, we suggest switching it off.
