between the tweeter and the woofer.
I wrote to Mackie and there response was:
"As long as you are a descent distance away from the cabinets, a meter
or so, I don't think it matters. Put them in a horizontal plane with
your head and stay a good bit away from them. You should be fine. msp"
This response goes against how the speakers were designed to be mounted and
listened thru.....So........
Does anyone know the optimal positioning?and why?
Thanks,
BrandonIdeally, the speaker should be as far away from your ears as they are
apart from each other (equal sided triangle). Also, the cabinets
should be aiming at you with the center of the cabinet at right angles
to your head. This means that if you have the cabinets sitting lower
than your head, you should tilt them up slightly, and tilt down if
they are over your head.
Just a rule of thumb... YMMV

Still, the guy who answered obviously was far from expert. Some tips from my
experience:
If possible a yard from front wall
Equilateral triangle
Remove any objects fron the space in the triangle and as much as you can
remove any objects from the plane of the triangle
Auim the tweets at ear.
