This guide provides detailed instructions on setting up Genelec monitor speakers, including room placement, acoustic treatment, and system calibration.
This document serves as a setup guide for Genelec monitor speakers. It explains the definition of reference-grade monitors and outlines how to select the correct speaker based on listening distance and sound pressure level. The text covers essential concepts such as determining the listening area and proper speaker positioning within a room.
The guide also addresses acoustic challenges, specifically explaining rear wall cancellation (comb filtering) caused by low-frequency reflections. It offers solutions for mitigating these effects through placement adjustments or acoustic treatment. Additionally, it provides specific recommendations for stereo systems, 5.1 surround sound setups, and the optimal height for speaker axes. This manual is written in Chinese.
For typical two-way monitors, the speaker axis should be level with the ears, usually 1.2 to 1.4 meters from the ground.
To reduce cancellation, place the speaker close to the rear wall; the front surface of the speaker should be less than 0.6 meters from the rear wall.
