Description: 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.

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... 🌍 My Website / Contact / Hire me - michaelwynneaudio.com 🎧 Become a member of this channel: youtube.com/channel/UCIcCXe3iWo6lq-iWKV40Oug/join 🎧 Patreon (Exclusive benefits): patreon.com/inthemix 🎧 My Sound Banks / Preset Packs - inthemix.store 📱 Join My Free Discord - discord.com/invite/inthemix 💸 Save money on DistroKid if you sign up through my custom link - distrokid.com/vip/inthemix
