The placement of your speakers has a huge

impact on how well they will perform in your
studio. Although nearfield studio monitors are
designed to be more forgiving when it comes to
placement, you should do your best to make sure
they form an equilateral triangle relative to your
head. In other words, make sure that each
speaker is equally distant from both your head as
well as the other speaker. Once each speaker has
been placed, rotate the speakers slightly so that
the drivers are pointing toward the listener.
Take a look at the diagram on the left. Notice that
the distance from the listener's head to each
speaker is the same as the distance between the
left and right speakers. Also note that the
speakers are turned slightly so that the drivers are
facing the listener. This is an ideal setup but if it is
not practical (or possible) to do this, try to match
this setup as closely as possible.
The ideal height for N-Wave 580L is so that the
speaker is parallel to the ground and that the
midpoint of the woofer and tweeter is at ear-height.
The diagram to the right demonstrates the ideal
placement height of the speakers relative to the
listener. Notice that the listener's ears are directly
between the woofer and tweeter.
