3. Positioning
The position of monitors within the studio room is
likely to have more influence over their performance
than any other aspect of their installation. It is worth
spending some time experimenting both with the
finer points of monitor positioning, as well as the
larger scale issues of room layout.
If you are already familiar with the acoustic
characteristics of your studio room, and the way
speakers perform in it, you may already have a good
feel for where to position your AE22s. However,
installing any new component provides a good
opportunity to review an existing set-up and perhaps
make improvements.
AE22s are NOT magnetically shielded. Magnetically
sensitive equipment or media should be kept at least
1m away.
The position requirements for a pair of AE22s installed
in a typically sized and equipped studio room,
illustrated in Diagram One, are as follows:

•
Between .5 and 3.0 metres apart.
•
Placed horizontally with tweeters outermost if the monitoring
position tends to be below the horizontal axis and tweeters innermost if
the monitoring position tends to be above the horizontal axis.
•
Between 0.2 and .0 metres from the rear wall.
•
At least .0 metre from the side walls.
•
Clear of room corners.
Don't worry if it is not practical to follow each requirement exactly. The most
important thing is to experiment with the different options that are practical and
find the one that works best.
AE22s need not be angled inward towards the listening position although adjusting
this "toe-in" angle can be effective in fine-tuning the AE22s high frequency tonal
balance.
Wherever your AE22s are positioned it is important that each of the pair is located
in a similar acoustic environment (different environments would be, say, a curtained
area and a solid wall). The acoustic character of the walls, ceiling and floor of
the room in the area where the main reflections between speakers and listening
position will occur should also be similar.
Once your AE22s are connected and working, and you begin to become familiar
with their performance, it is likely to be worthwhile experimenting a little more
with their positioning. Reducing the distance between the monitors and the rear
wall will increase the level of bass and low midrange making the monitors sound
warmer. The warmth however is likely to be gained at the expense of some mid-
range clarity and stereo image focus and depth. Increasing the toe-in angle of the
monitors may regain some image focus but again this may be at a cost of image
width and high frequency balance. Learning through experimentation how AE22s
behave in your studio will help you find the optimum solution.
