Optimal Height for Your Studio Monitors

Optimal Height for Your Studio Monitors

Simply put, your monitors (speakers) should be at ear level. Not sitting on your desk pointed up at your head, and not way up near the ceiling pointed down at your head.

Also the two monitors and your head should make an equilateral triangle, being the same distance apart and also at a 60 degree angle from each other.

    1. I guess for mono production one monitor would be OK, but who has one monitor set up in their studio?! Unless it’s an Auratone for checking mixes in mono at low volumes IN ADDITION to a pair of main monitors set up in stereo. I would never solely use one monitor.
