Hi all, I am owning a pair of Jbl Lsr305 monitors and wonder how I should adjust the bass and treble trims (from -2 dB to +2 dB both)? Thanks! |

I leave mine at zero because my monitors aren't badly placed. You want to make sure its flat as possible. |

Badly placed means being placed close to walls? |

Yep or like corners.
Here's a pic of badly placed monitors.

Oh and try not ask who they belong to. :p |

So what should I do? Mine are 50 sm off the wall (can't place them differently due to the lack of space). SO should I just set -2db? |

Your fine and make sure you have a sweet spot that consists of a triangle. You want the monitors to be evenly placed from your distance matching the same distance between the monitors. Some will say it won't matter but thats what I do. If there's a zero setting (flat) leave it there. If there's not make sure the trims or boosts are the same. Take a picture of your studio room and i'm sure someone will hopefully tell you if you need to trim or not. I keep my monitors away from the walls and corners possible. |

Don't worry bro, i'm sure someone will chime in on correct calibrations for boosting or cutting for that particular environment, idk why it so quite today. |
