monitor placement?

[eyes without a face]

just wondering how far apart you guys have ur monitors and whats the recommended distance?

i have 2 technics and a pioneer set up on a desk and at the moment my monitors are placed either end of this on professional monitor stands

my monitors are se up very badly:




___________ ____________
|..........| |..........|
|..........| |..........|
|..1.......| |.....2....|
|..........| |..........|
|..........| |..........|
------------ -------------- >>> i sit this side of both speakers


they are central for dj mixing, but totally off when producing, which is when i need it more :lol:

so should they be eithjer side for producing or set up like detfellas?? soz for being dim!! :oops: :doh:

[eyes without a face]

definately have to be facing u for production, left and right with u placed ideally in the middle

thats how its set up my end, just thought id best check :lol: :lol:

Ideally equi-distant from you at 30 degree angles is supposedly ideal. Try keep them away from walls and especially corners unless you like lots of bass response!

[AcidMutant]

Thats 30 degrees from the imaginary centre line between the listener and the line that would run from speaker to speaker making a right angle with the centre line.

Have been trying to solve this problem for months...

...I know the theory, but if I put my computer and mixer in the right place for the speakers the sun glares on the monitor... grrr!
