How should the monitor speakers be placed to hear the correct sound?

Basically, when our speakers are playing, the sound we hear is not just the sound from the speaker to the ear; it is the sound from the speaker to the ear (direct sound) and the sound reflected from the environment to the ear (reflected sound). The "how and where" of the speakers can affect whether the sound you hear when you mix or "make music" is a true reflection. Too much reflected sound will affect your judgment of the current sound, so that too many adjustments and corrections are made to the sound due to environmental influences.
Today, we will give you a general direction for the placement of monitor speakers. After all, the environment that many people are in is not their own space, and there is no way to achieve 100% excellent conditions. But if you can do your best to meet the conditions mentioned below, then I believe that when you make music or sound production in the future, the sound state you hear will be relatively better.


Point 1: maintain an equilateral triangle placement
If you have a flat space, try to keep your speakers in an equilateral triangle position. You can take a ruler and measure the position from the left speaker to the right speaker, ask a friend or family member to sit on a chair, and then check the length of the "left speaker to the right speaker position", whether it is the same as the left speaker to you. The distance between the ears is the same.

If you don't have much space, you can shorten the distance between the left and right speakers. First, get an equidistant triangle to ensure that the volume ratio (direct sound) of the left and right speakers is the same.

In addition, if your equilateral triangle is larger, you can hear a wider sound space ( Image ), but relatively speaking, your environment must be large and wide enough. However, the wider environment will also bring the problem of echo and excessive sound reflection. For ordinary students or beginners who have just stepped into music production, they may not have a large music production environment, so it is recommended not to buy monitors that are too large.

Point 2: Keep the tweeter at the same height as your ears
Because most entry-level monitors are usually 2-way, that is, there will be a tweeter and a woofer. However, due to the strong directionality of the tweeter, if possible, try to keep your ears at the same height as your tweeter. (Or grab the point between the tweeter and the woofer) If possible, try not to place the speaker directly on the table, to avoid transmitting the resonance of the speaker to your table to produce resonance effects.

But I think most people, like me, don't have a lot of room to buy another speaker stand and put the speakers behind the table. So you can try to find some "hollow bricks" or find some professional "speaker brackets"


Point 3: Try to match the design of the speakers
At present, there are many designs of monitor speakers: the two-channel is placed horizontally, while the coaxial speaker one has no restrictions on placement because the monophonic unit and the bass are in the same position in Kansai.


Point 4: Put the speakers on the short side if possible
If your room is a rectangular space, it is recommended to place the speakers on the "short side". As mentioned above, the sound is divided into "direct sound" and "reflection sound", so it is recommended to place the speakers on the "short side" to reduce the proportion of reflected sound in hearing.


Nothing can be 100% perfect, but I hope this article can make you experience more perfect music
