The compact width and depth dimensions of the M2 

allow flexibility of placement in a range of production 

spaces, whether free standing, positioned adjacent 

to a wall, or in a corner. Digital signal processing in 

the M2 system’s Crown amplifier or BSS Soundweb 

London processor provides room-tuning capability 

that can reduce the negative effect of room modes 

(standing waves) and compensate for deviations 

in response created by the speaker’s proximity to 

the room’s boundaries. This provides exceptional 

placement flexibility, even when M2s are installed in 

relatively small control rooms or project studios.

Please observe these guidelines when 

placing M2 speakers in the workspace:

•  Do not place the M2 near a heat register or a 

source of open flame (such as a fireplace).

•  Do not expose the M2 to moisture, dripping or 

humid environments.

•  Take precautions to ensure that animals do not 

enter the speakers’ port openings.

•  To protect the woofer cone from potential 

damage, always use the speaker with the 

supplied grille attached.

For optimum performance 

please review and observe 

the following guidelines:

To achieve optimum performance 

at the listening position the listener 

should be seated within ±30° of the 

waveguide’s horizontal centerline (see 

illustration to the left). If necessary, 

the M2 speaker should be angled 

towards the listener to keep the 

listener within the coverage window.
