reProducer Epic 5 Active Monitor Speaker
Stereo Image
To achieve perfect stereo imaging please make sure that the position of the speakers–and the listener of course–are located
symmetrically in the room. To clarify, if there are walls left and right, as there quite probably are, the distance from left speaker
to left wall and right speaker to right wall should be (approximately) similar. The farther away the walls are the more leeway you
have as the reflected sound will be delayed more.
Please male sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and your ears. Nothing that will obstruct or break the sound
waves, like monitor screens, large leaf plants etc… Acoustically transparent elements can be placed there, but we can’t think of
any qualifying items currently. Please let us know if you find exceptions to the rule!
The often quoted equilateral triangle is a practical recommendation, but depending on the spatial configuration of the listening
room and the amount and quality of any reflections (primarily from the walls, ceiling and floor) it might be preferable to move the
listening position to a slot slightly inside the triangle.
An easy way to find the optimal listening position is to play a mono signal over both speakers, moving slowly back and forth
until a solid phantom source is discernible in the middle.

A good rule of thumb to establish a solid stereo image is to construct an equilateral triangle between the two cabinets and the
listening position.
