Setup Recommendations
In order to achieve the best possible sound is highly
recommended to not only consider the interaction
between the loudspeakers and the surrounding acoustical environment but also the position of the listener as relating
to the loudspeakers. Here are some pertinent suggestions.
Distance and Level
The Epic-5 is of the type near-field, also known as meter-bridge-monitor. For the non-seasoned audio professionals
the meter-bridge is the unit above large scale mixing consoles that used to house many VU meters (twitchy dials that
give an indication of every channel-strip’s level).
Due to it’s intended positioning the Epic-5 is optimised for a relatively short distance. We recommend a listening
distance between 0,8 m and 1,4 m (3 to 5 ft.) [Fig-01]. The Epic-5’s should be at ear level! The reference point for this
adjustment is the space between the tweeter (High Frequency / HF driver) and the woofer (Low Frequency / LF
driver).
At longer distance (over 1,4 m / 5 ft.) the high frequency response will decrease proportionally. Due to the attainable
levels a listening distance closer than 0,8 m is not recommended!
