Acoustic Space Setting Suggestions

When a monitor is placed close to a wall, or in a corner,

the low frequencies tend to be emphasized more than

if the monitor is far from any room boundary; this effect

is called “boundary bass boost.” It is most pronounced

if the monitor is in a corner and less pronounced,

but present, if the monitor is near one wall.
To compensate for this bass boost, the Eris E4.5

provides an Acoustic Space switch that cuts all

frequencies below 1kHz by a fixed amount.
If the monitors are close to the corners of the room, start by

setting the Acoustic Space switch to -4 dB, which provides the

most bass attenuation.

If the monitors are close to the back wall, try setting the

Acoustic Space switch to -2 dB for less attenuation.

If the monitors are far from any wall, there will

be no bass boost, so set the switch to 0 dB.
