Positioning the Speakers A major objective when setting up your studio monitors is to obtain the best possible stereo image. The MediaOne BT monitors are designed to be used in a vertical position, with the tweeter and woofer symmetrically in line. Do not place these speakers horizontally as this will cause an offset in sound between the woofer and the tweeter, limiting your ability to find optimal listening positions.

The MediaOne BT uses Bluetooth to stream high quality audio from your Bluetooth enabled device without the need for connecting any cables.
