English5Setting up your speakersThe Tweeter should be positioned approximately at the height of your ears. In caseyou need to position the speaker in a significant lower or higher position, the monitorshould be angled accordingly.Placement of 2 speakersThe ideal placement of two speakers and a listener in a two-channel stereo listeningsituation are the corner points of a equilateral triangle (60° angles). Since the S5VA isa mid field monitor, the best performance will be achieved with a stereo base/listeningdistance between 1 and 4 meters.Surround placementSpeaker positioning for multi-channel stereo purposes is ideally based on a circle withspeakers placed at 0° (Center), 30° (Front Right), 110° (Rear Right), 250° (Rear Left),330° (Front Left), with the listener being the circle’s center (Radius between 0.7-2.0 m).This ITU recommended configuration may vary depending on the purpose of the controlroom (music or film). However, it is recommended to create a symmetrical listeningposition with the front side and surround speaker pointing to the listener’s ear.The distance to the surrounding walls should be at least 40 cm to avoid early reflections,which will degrade the sound.
