Hi, Question for the experts: Can speakers tilting reduce desk reflections in case of desktop monitors, or reduce floor reflections in case of floorstanding speakers? If it can, how would you position them? When un-tilted usually the tweeter is at ear level but how to position when they are tilted? specifically with desktop studio monitors. Thank you
I'm not the expert but I do consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the subject and use Dynaudio LYD 8 montors at home with the Dynaudio 18S subwoofer. If you tilt your speakers upwards, which I assume is what you're interested in to reduce reflections from the table, then you should place them lower so that if you draw a straight line from the acoustic axis (usually between woofer and tweeter) then it should point to your ears, or just behind your head. The angle required will of course depend on the distance you sit from the monitors so you could argue that the distance become more important if you tilt the speakers as opposed to having them flat on the table as with the latter option (flat on the table) the acoustic axis is at the same height no matter the distance. So it may be a bit of a trade-off. If you always sit at the same distance from the speakers then tilting them is an option but if you vary the distance then you're probably best off keeping them flat on the table. The question is also how much of a problem reflections are in the first place, which will vary. For floor speakers a common improvement is to place a carpet in front of the speakers to reduce reflections, this may or may not be a solution you can replicate on your table. Hope that helps!
QUESTION: My loudspeakers are about 16 years old and I love their performance. They were expensive high end speakers and I want to preserve and maintain them as long as possible. So I was wondering if there is any benefit in rotating the mid/woofer 180 degrees to prevent any sagging of the foam surround or other rubber parts. In other words the 12 o'clock position of the driver becomes the 6 o'clock position. Your thoughts please.
Il y a pas de vrai basse reflex , la par exemple le hp dans la longueur du caisson en 2 chambre séparée du hp avec juste un trou d'un côté offre de meuilleurs basse pour la demande, sa rend un gros subwoofer mais plus puissant au niveau des plages grave meuilleurs rendue
Interesting and informative, thanks.

No , dont even think about it :-) Wasted work if you do that..
Can I use Dynaudio Pro Audio models in my home environment?
Indeed, if they work better for you. Just keep in mind that Sub 3 and Sub 6 have presets for our stereo speakers, which the pro subwoofers do not.
@@dynaudio And you can have plugs that make signal from xlr to rca and vice versa.. No problem..
What about a passive radiator? Btw, I think you could easily have spoken about this for 20 minutes.
