Eris™ Series E3.5 Owner’s Manual 3.0 Tutorials 3.1 Monitor Placement 3.0 Tutorials 3.1 Monitor Placement Ideally, near-field monitors should be placed so that the tweeters are at the same height as your ears when you are mixing. Eris speakers can be placed vertically or horizontally; when placed horizontally, they should form a mirrorimage pair, with the tweeters on the outside. 60˚ 60˚ The speakers should be separated so that the tweeters form an equilateral triangle with your head.
Eris™ Series E3.5 Owner’s Manual 3.0 Tutorials 3.2 Level Setting 3.2 Level Setting Make sure that the gain controls on your audio source have been optimized for maximum signal level and minimum noise. This process is called “gain staging,” and you can learn about it from many online sources. You should always set the volume on your Eris monitor so that all other level controls in the system needn’t be turned way up or way down to achieve a comfortable listening volume.
