wavelength is around 28ft (8.5m). It is quite possible that at these wavelengths from a single source/woofer both your ears could be in a phase hole. The room may be rattling and shaking, but you would not hear the direct sound only its effect on the space. The opposite is also true. The room and woofer interaction could generate a standing wave that would give up to 6dB of build up at your ears. Thus great care should be taken in placement to find the best location for the speaker. If possible two sub woofers of the same type should be placed asymmetrical- ly in the control room. You should also take into account the construction of the walls, floor and ceiling of the control room. . One way to hear how much you are losing is to play some good full range program and walk outside the control room. With the door closed, how much low frequency energy are you hearing leaking out? Is this desirable? Probably not, since it will annoy
Use with CRT displays.
The Diamond Pro and Pro Active reference monitors are magnetically shielded for use in close proximity to CRT displays as are found in many of today’s production and dubbing systems so placement next to CRT monitor displays are possible.

Stereo Near Field Monitoring set-up:
Placement should be as much as possible for you and the two speakers to make the three corners of an equilateral triangle. The typical distance your head will be from (plus or minus reasonable movement back and forth) from the speaker position line, will dictate the width through some simple math, or experimentation. This places the speakers at 60 degrees.
