Nearfield Notes field notes
Studio monitor placement that survives a real desk
Set monitor height, spacing, toe-in, wall distance, desk position, symmetry, and listening level before treating the room.
Start with symmetry
Matching distances to walls and the listening position gives left and right channels a fairer starting point.
Raise the tweeters
Stands or risers can clear screens and desk reflections while bringing high-frequency drivers closer to ear height.
Change one position at a time
Small moves are easier to judge when reference tracks and listening level stay consistent.
