SP OT L IG 2. PHILOSOPHY HT WHY PLASTIC? Because we can produce thousands and thousands of piece with the same characteristics of material integrity. Our Plastic is water and moisture resistance and it is finished with a "velvet-touch" paint that protects the unit from fingertips and scratches. WHY TWO WOOFERS? Because two is better than one. Joke apart, it is always difficult to get a decent amount of low frequencies out of a compact speaker cabinet.
3. INSTALLATION Compact Studio Monitors are also generally addressed as "Near-Field Monitors" In big Recording Studios the Monitors are usually far away from the Listeners. They interact the room since the sound will reflect on ceiling, wall and floor thus affecting the sound quality. Near-filed Monitors are positioned a few feet away from the Listener and as a consequence the sound is less depended to the room conditions.
3. INSTALLATION 2 CHANNELS+SUBWOOFER This is the best possible positioning for the Monitors and the subwoofer but this set-up maybe not practical in your room. So, play some music with the subwoofer in different positions. Usually, the only possible positioning is under the table. Choose a sound material where there is a lot of low frequencies. Some positions may create phase misalignment. If the subwoofer has a phase switch, turn it on and listen to the difference.
