Setting up your SX series active studio monitor system
Background on the SX series active studio monitor system
The SX series active monitor system is a near field studio monitor
featuring a custom design with 3.5”, 4.5”, 5.5”, 6.5” or 8.5” copolymer low
frequency driver and a 1” silk tweeter employing a ferrofluid-cooled
voice coil and neodymium magnet. The monitor's crossover has been
carefully designed with high quality components insuring a linear
frequency and phase response. The SX series enclosure is constructed
from MDF. It has designed with tuned vent port that provides extended
low-end response, and with a low turbulence design, the low frequency
driver can move freely with minimal effect on the overall impedance. On
the rear of the enclosure, you'll find a variety of input connectors
including XLR balanced input and RCA unbalanced input. These input
are connected to SX series internal Bi-Amp power module providing
power to each monitor speaker. You will also find the pre-amp control
such as volume knob, used to adjust the overall level of the internal
power amplifier.
Positioning the SX series active studio monitor system
Near field monitoring has become choice of
many engineers in large and small studios
because it minimizes the effect of room
acoustics. By positioning the reference
monitors in the near field (close to the
listener), you can greatly reduce the effects
of room acoustics.
The most important considerations when
evaluating the effects of room acoustics are reflective surfaces that are
around the monitoring area. These can include flat tabletops, glass
mirrors, framed pictures, large open walls and even the surface of your
mixing console. All reflecting sound will eventually reach the listening
position, but since it is slightly delayed from the direct source, the result
is random cancellation of some frequencies, or comb filtering. If possible,
remove any and all reflective surfaces. You may also want to hang some
acoustic foam on walls that are close to the monitors.
When positioning the monitors, you'll want to set up what is commonly
referred to as the "mixing triangle". In this ideal configuration, the space
between the left and right monitor is equal to the distance from the
listener to each monitor, forming an equilateral triangle (as figure 1 shown).

Speaker Orientation
The SX series can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position.
When using the monitors in the horizontal position, be certain to place
the left and right side tweeters on the outer most sides. (As Figure 2
shown). This will improve the stereo imaging and bass response by
increasing the coupling of the low-end drivers.
Reflection
When choosing the height of your monitor system, be careful to avoid
reflections off the surface of the mixing console (As Figure 3 shown).
These reflections arrive at the listening position slightly delayed from
the original sound resulting in strange cancellations and overall
unpredictable response. Visualize straight lines representing the
beams of sound radiating from the monitors and choose a height that
reduces the occurrence of reflections that will end up in the prime
listening spot (As Figure 4 shown). In most cases, the ideal position is
slightly behind and above the mixing console's meter bridge.
