Speaker Placement

Placing speakers is one of the most important
procedures in order to monitor sound accurately. To
monitor with the BX5 D2s performing to their
maximum capability,
environment and correct placement are required.
Please refer to the following for correct BX5 D2
placement.
1. The monitors and the listener should basically
align to form a regular triangle. Refer to the
following diagram.
2. Position the monitors so that the top of the
woofers are level with your ears in a normal
listening environment. Refer to the following
diagram.
3. Place the monitors vertically with the woofer on
the bottom. Placing the BX5 D2 horizontally is
not recommended.
Remarks: DO NOT place any obstacles that may
block the flow of air in front or between the
monitors. Also remove reflective materials such as
glass, mirrors or metal from the monitoring
environment. PLACE THOSE MATERIALS AWAY
FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND FROM THE
BX5 D2s.
