1.0 introduction you’re thinking, “come on, a user’s manual for speakers? That’s like a user’s manual for a toothbrush.” you know you should hook them up in phase and then you listen to them. How much more do you need to know? We know these speakers are headed for the professional or semi- professio...
2.3 connecting your speakers the compact, integrated design of a self powered unit like the reveal active makes it particularly easy to install. Having chosen an appropriate location for your monitors and arranged them accordingly, connect the power cord to the mains socket (location 2) and turn the...
3.0 placement of the speakers now here’s the truly critical stuff. Speaker placement and the listening environment can completely compromise the performance of any loudspeaker, no matter how much it costs.

Where do you aim the speakers to give you the smoothest and most consistent sound, and how far apart do you place them to give you a good stereo image? The basic rule is to follow the layout of an equilateral triangle. The distance...
3.3 console reflections the number one killer of smooth near-field monitor response is the mixing console. Most people park their near-field monitors on top of the meter bridge, which makes the console top the most influential reflecting surface for the sound you hear when you’re mixing. How importa...
To the speaker’s response, because the ear/brain reads reflections arriving within 10 milliseconds of the direct sound as being part of the speaker’s response, these reflections can pull the stereo image around in different directions at different frequencies. Enough theory, now to the lab. Here’s w...
3.4 speaker mounting you’ve probably got your monitors delicately balanced on your console meter bridge, or sitting on a counter top beside your hard disc editor.
