Nearfield Monitor Placement

Where should I place my studio monitors?

Nearfield studio monitors are small speakers that minimize the effects of your room on the sound source. Clear, accurate and balanced monitors will obviously deliver a more precise sound than your old hi-fi speakers, and accuracy makes a huge difference in tweaking your mix.

The position of the monitors is very important. First, you should be close to the sound: about 2 to 5 feet from the monitors is cool. Mount the monitors so the tops of the woofers are at ear level. If the monitors are mounted 4 feet apart, you should be 4 feet away from them, so the monitors and your head form an imaginary triangle. Angle the monitors so the tweeters are aimed at your ears. This placement typically provides the most accurate monitoring.
