Let’s have a talk about studio monitor positioning. Is it better to place speakers vertically or horizontally? Upright or sideways? In this video, I discuss 3 factors to consider when trying to make your studio loudspeakers sound as accurate as possible. Please share your thoughts and tips in the comment section too! 0:00 – Intro/Topics 1:10 – Wave Guide Shape 3:24 – Woofer/Tweeter Phase 6:45 – Height Issues 8:13 – Final Recommendations Important Notes: (Please discuss this in the comment section to help me figure this out too!) I see people talking about woofer/subwoofer positioning and saying that the low frequencies are omni directional / non directional so it doesn’t matter where you position the woofers or subwoofers in your system. The thing that confuses me is that I can certainly hear where a subwoofer or bass driver is positioned. Try these tests in your room: – Position your speakers very wide, the bass will now sound wider too. – Place a subwoofer to the right or left of your listening position. You will be able to tell which side it is on 100% of the time. – Try placing a subwoofer behind or in front of you, again you will be able to tell where it is every single time. I think this myth may have been started by the home audio industry/HiFi industry to help sell Subwoofers. Perhaps it is easier to fit it in a living room if you tell the buyer that the placement in the room doesn’t matter…

Micahel Wynne is a recording artist and mixing engineer with a passion for teaching (and instant ramen). In 2015 I discovered my enthusiasm for music and audio; I learned how to record and produce songs in my university student room with a just cheap laptop and FL Studio. After several months of working in audio sessions between school assignments, I decided to leave uni with a 2-year engineering diploma to pursue a career in music. I wanted to learn everything I could about the industry and the artistic process, so I started making original music as half of the duo “Miavono”. In late 2016 I began my journey on YouTube, sharing my knowledge and experiences with audio in the form of tutorials on “In The Mix”. I quickly grew a community of over 120,000 producers, artists, and audio professionals, a group of people whose passions aligned with mine. Last year I built my own home studio from the ground up in my back garden, set in the rural highlands of Scotland, and have since been supported by and involved with some of the greatest people in the industry.
