Hi All,
According to the manual these were designed to be placed in a vertical
position. I have read articles on speaker placement and they say most speakers
are designed to have the listeners ear at a level height with the tweeter
OR level with the space between the tweeter and the woofer. I notice that
the phantom center shifts up and down in front of me as I change my ear level
in relation to the tweeters. It is written that there is an optimal listening
position when considering phase relation between the tweeter and the woofer.
I wrote to Mackie and there response was:
"As long as you are a descent distance away from the cabinets, a meter
or so, I don't think it matters. Put them in a horizontal plane with
your head and stay a good bit away from them. You should be fine. msp"
This response goes against how the speakers were designed to be mounted and
listened thru.....So........
Does anyone know the optimal positioning?and why?
Thanks,
Brandon
