Speaker Height:

The ideal height for M1Active 520/620 speakers is so that the speaker is parallel to the ground and that the midpoint of the woofer and tweeter is at ear-height.

The diagram below demonstrates the ideal placement height of the speakers relative to the engineer. Notice that the engineer’s ears are directly between the woofer and tweeter.

Woofer/tweeter midpoint

If possible, use speaker stands and move the monitors off of your desk (or meter bridge, if you are using a mixer). This usually results in better imaging since the monitor is decoupled from your desk and there is less chance reflected sound from the desk (or mixer) reaching your ears and smearing the imaging of your studio monitors.
