Setting Up for Superior
Sound
A number of points should be observed when laying out
a monitor speaker system.
 Point 1
Position speakers at least 1.5 meters away from
walls or corners.
Ideally, the speakers should be located at least 1.5
meters away from walls or corners. In situations where it
is not possible to position the speakers a sufficient
distance from walls or corners, the ROOM CONTROL
switch can be used compensate for excessive bass. As
you move the speaker closer to walls or corners, a
higher compensation setting may be required to
achieve natural sounding response ([0] → [-2] → [-4]).
