3.5 Acoustic Space Setting Suggestions

When a monitor is placed close to a wall, or in a corner,

the low frequencies tend to be emphasized more than

if the monitor is far from any room boundary; this eﬀect

is called “boundary bass boost.” It is most pronounced

if the monitor is in a corner and less pronounced,

but still present, if the monitor is near one wall.

To compensate for this bass boost, the R65/R80

provides an Acoustic Space switch that cuts all

frequencies below 250 Hz by a ﬁxed amount.

If the monitors are close to the

corners of the room, start by

setting the Acoustic Space switch

to -6 dB, which provides the most

bass attenuation.

If the monitors are close to the

back wall, try setting the Acoustic

Space switch to -3 dB or -1.5 dB for

less attenuation.

If the monitors are far from any

wall, there will be no bass boost, so

set the switch to 0 dB.

These are merely starting suggestions; use

your ears, experiment, and go with what works

best for your listening environment.
