This can also cause the speakers to be not angled at all. Then you have a slight roll
off in the upper frequency range, which is advantageous in rooms with greater
reverberation. The character and dynamics of the loudspeaker are not affected by
this.
Due to the inert sealed cabinet, it is possible to place the speaker right in front of a
wall or even close to a corner. Please notice that you will achieve a more intense
bass and lower midrange level by doing this.
Referring the positioning of the speaker, please have in mind, that it is best to keep
the distance of the speaker to the side walls similar, as well as the distance to the
back walls of the room. If your room is a big one and the walls are 2 meters away
from the speakers, the distance parameters shouldn`t cause any trouble any more.
The listening distance to both speakers left and right should be the same also. This is
important to get the time alignment to your ears right.
If you set up a speaker in a corner, you will increase the bass level up to 100 Hz by
roughly 6dB, which means double the listening level at this frequency band. If the
other speaker does not have the same position in a corner, the level at the bass will
be less and will limit the balance in sound obviously. But with the Monitor Sub Bass
system you can overcome this problem, because you are able to reduce or to in-
crease the bass level with the V knob.
A big advantage of our speaker design is also, that our speaker system does not
add uncontrolled cabinet resonances to the room which will damage the pure
sound a lot. It`s just physics that a big speaker cabinet transfers uncontrolled energy
into the room, which has nothing to do with the recording itself.
That is the reason, why we kept the cabinets as small as possible and as rigid as
possible. Together with The Reference Stand there is no cabinet coloration limiting
the sound of the recording. Just pure.
8. Basic Technical Information
The Monitor Sub Bass system is a two way monitor system with a Sub Bass extension
in the low frequency range.
The Monitor Fullrange Speaker is a pure two way monitor speaker. To keep phase
and time alignment as perfect as possible, the crossover is a true 6dB design. The
cabinet is made of 40mm massive birch plywood with dimensions as small as possi-
ble to get rid of any resonance and oscillating problem of the cabinet itself, which
will damage the pure sound of the recording because of added cabinet colora-
tion. The design of the Monitor Fullrange speaker allows listening distances down to
1.5 Meter without any compromises. The Monitor Fullrange Speaker is a sealed cab-
inet design.
The Sub Bass extension is done by an 8 inch, aluminium drive unit with a huge
double magnet system. The drive unit is powered by a 300 Watt built in amplifier
with an custom designed active crossover. Due to this design, the Sub goes as low
as 20 Hz.
The cabinet is made of 40mm massive birch plywood with dimensions as small as
possible to get rid of any resonance and oscillating problem of the cabinet itself,
which will damage the pure sound of the recording. Because of the low frequency
energy this sub bass system can achieve, the back panel of the cabinet is made of
12mm massive aluminium and inside heavy duty bracelets to get rid of any colora-
tion of the cabinet itself.
