Speaker Installation
18 M1 ACTIVE REFERENCE MANUAL
Proper tweeter orientation is toward the stereo image center (the middle) as shown.
Ports are always faced toward the bottom side of the cabinet. This set-up will
promote a strongly focused center image such as for the vocalist. And because the
(vocal) image width will be narrower than if the speakers are placed vertically, it will
be possible to place the vocalist with great precision at stage center. In this
orientation there will be much less chance of first reflections from either sidewalls or
the console coloring your mix.
