Mixer/Workplace Reflections Room Acoustics
18 19 POSITIONING POSITIONING
Ideally, a 5.1 system would comprise five EVE Audio SC205 or SCC204 and
a TS107 or TS108 subwoofer. Following combination is also possible: Front:
SC205, Center: SC305, Rear: SC204.
140°
60°
80°
The positioning of the two front speakers and the subwoofer should be
done in the same manner as in a stereo setup with subwoofer (see “Stereo
Setup + Subwoofer“).
Place the center monitor directly in front of the listening position, i.e. right
in the center between both front satellites.
The rear satellites should form an isosceles triangle with the listening
position forming an angle of 140º.
Verify that all speakers are at the same distance from the listening position,
so that they are synced in time.
4.8. Mixer/Workplace Reflections
Regardless of whether the monitors are to be used in a recording studio with
a mixing desk and meter bridge or in a desktop environment, hard surfaces
can produce annoying reflections that alter the natural reproduction of the
loudspeakers. Especially in the low-mid frequency range.
If this is the case with your setup, use the Desk Filter of your EVE Audio
monitors to reduce the impact of the reflections from the desk or mixer.
4.9. Room Acoustics
In order for the described measures to work effectively, we recommend
that you put special attention to the room acoustics. The size, contents,
wall parallelism, proportion, and reflective behavior of the room, as well
as the corners, the building materials and their characteristics play a very
important role in the acoustics of a room.
Room acoustics is a science in itself and it is unfortunately out of the scope
of this manual. However, we have put together a short bibliography for
