This comes in handy if you're tracking in room A and mixing down in room B which does not have the same layout. Positioning Your Monitors Positioning the monitors correctly in the studio is critical to their performance. Basically, they should be placed in such a way that the listening position is fully “covered” with all speakers resting on the same horizontal plane. A good way to test the monitor for its imaging capability is to play back a CD that provides recordings of acoustical instruments. We recommend acoustic rather than synthesized music or sampled sounds because acoustic music typically delivers wider dynamic and frequency ranges than sampled and/or electronic music. 8 2-Channel Setup Close-Field Configuration: In a control room, the monitors are frequently placed on the meter bridge or in a close-field listening position. Initial placement starts by measuring out a simple equilateral triangle (all three sides equal in length) with the apex at the center of the listening position (as shown in Figure 1) as an “overlay” for the stereo installation. In this configuration, the Left and Right monitors are each placed at a 60. angle equidistant from the listening position. Figure 1 Listening Position Mid-Field Configuration: This configuration is essentially the same as the Close-Field setup (see Figure 2). The Mid-Field configuration is normally used with larger monitors or when the monitors are too large or heavy for the meter bridge, as is likely the case with the Expose E8B. This set-up has the potential for a larger sweet spot and better spatial imaging. Ensure that the height of the woofer is above the height of the console’s meter bridge. Figure 2 9 Subwoofer Setup Begin by determining the best location for your subwoofer. If possible, the optimum set-up would look like the set-up in Figure 3; however, this setup may not be practical or possible in your room. Once you have set up your monitors, listen to some program material that you know contains low frequency information. Different locations may create a phase misalignment. Most subwoofers have a phase switch on them. Flip the phase switch. The bass response volume will either increase or decrease in volume. Whichever setting provides the loudest response at your seating position is in phase. After you have the proper phase setting, you will need to adjust the output level of the subwoofer to a level that provides a smooth blend of the bass volume with that of your monitors. Figure 3 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Setup Begin by placing the Left and Right front channels 30 degrees from the Center channel and equidistant to the listening position (Figure 4). The Left Surround (rear) and Right Surround (rear) channels should be placed 110 degrees from the Center channel. Their location should also be equidistant from the listening position. The subwoofer (Low Frequency Effects) channel is most effective when situated directly below the Center channel (as shown in Figure 4). If this is not possible, place the subwoofer just to the right or left side and below the Center channel. Ensure that the woofers are above the height of the console. Once the monitors have been placed, you’ll need to adjust the System Level Adjust pots for each monitor so that all channels have exactly the same SPL output at the listening position. Although this can be done simply by listening to each channel one at a time and adjusting for relative levels, we recommend using an SPL meter and filtered noise (pink noise) to test each channel independently. Simply take a reading from each monitor, and then adjust all the monitors to match your lowest SPL reading. Your system levels should now be balanced for multi-channel surround. The most significant point to remember is that each room presents its own set of acoustic variables. You'll want to experiment to arrive at the best possible sound for your room. 10 Figure 4 Figure 4 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Setup The 7.1 channel surround sound setup adds two speakers to the sides of the mix position and is most similar to the actual surround sound configuration of cinema—with the difference being that cinemas commonly add additional side surrounds to compensate for the length of the theater. Figure 5 11 The front Left and Right speakers typically form a wider triangulation (in relation to the mix position) than that of a 5.1 setup so as to more accurately replicate the fact that in cinema, the front speakers are not angled toward the center, but rather face straight out into the theater—as is also the case for the mix stage in film sound mixing. The Center channel loudspeaker is positioned directly in the center as is the case in a 5.1 surround setup. Similarly, the subwoofer is most effective when situated directly below the center channel. If this is not possible place the subwoofer just to the right or left side and below the Center channel. Like the three front speakers, the Left and Right surround speakers are positioned at equ...
