Jusqu'ici j'avais toujours placé les tweeters à "l'extérieur" mais après lecture du manuel de mes nouvelles écoutes et placement comme conseillé j'ai eu la surprise de constater un confort d'écoute suplémentaire avec une lisibilité accrue... Voici ce qu'ils disent :
STEREO NEARFIELD PLACEMENT OF THE M1 ACTIVE MK2 NOTE: We recommend that the M1 Active Mk2 speakers be placed with the tweeters to the inside , not the outside, of the listening triangle. The “classic” studio monitor layout used to be that the tweeters be placed to the outside of a horizontally-oriented speaker. In the past, this configuration was actually beneficial in time aligning the tweeter with the woofer if the cabinets were not toed-in toward the listener. However, this configuration is highly prone to comb filtering effects if the listener’s head is moved from side-to-side while mixing. This “comb filtering” causes the mid-to-high frequency tones to get louder, then softer, then louder again as you move your head from side-to-side, making it very confusing when trying to mix with precision. Some people still believe that stereo separation is “improved” with tweeters to the outside, but this is advice left over from the early days (the sixties) of stereo recordings when “correct” stereo often meant a complete hard right or hard left placement of an instrument (or singer). As stereo mixing techniques changed toward placing the vocalist (for example) in the center, the old “tweeters-out” orientation would indeed widen the image if one’s head were kept in the exact center position. But this set-up proves to be very tiring, very quickly for the recording engineer. And, to others who are listening to the mix from either side of the engineer, the sound will seem to be coming primarily from the speaker closest to them. Fortunately, recording techniques have changed radically since the sixties. Engineers have learned to how to “place” an instrument or singer within the mix so that an accurate re-creation of the actual instrument and vocal positioning (left-to-right and front-to-back) is achieved. In the M1 Active Mk2, advances in crossover design technologies and improvements in the offaxis response of tweeter domes and woofer cone materials and profile have made the requirement for tweeters to be placed to the outside of the cabinet obsolete. In fact, using a non-toed-in, tweeters-out orientation with a modern, wide dispersion design like the M1 Active Mk2 will increase the likelihood of hearing unwanted first reflections and a variety of phase anomalies in your mix.

QUOTE (zimuse @ Jul 30 2003, 16:08) D'ailleurs, moi pour vérifier mes mix, je fais des tests d'écoute dans toutes sortes de conditions: automobile, sono maison et téléviseur mono pouvant servir de "Shit Box" entre autres. Ensuite je réajuste selon mes propres références, selon de mon poste d'écoute et surtout en fonction de l'endroit de diffusion. Moi aussi, of course, j'ai d'ailleurs également 4 systemes d'écoute sur mon poste de travail et en plus je vérifie comme toi, dans les autres pièces, voiture y compris... Mais bon, le placement des tweeters dehors ou dedans, n'a pas l'air de passionner grand monde !

Si,si, mais m'est avis que si la distance entre les tweeters est constante, ça doit revenir au même. Au fait, pourquoi tu ne mets pas les enceintes verticales, le tweeter au dessus du boomer ?
