Setting DB level on rear panels of monitors
View this Thread in Original format
Microlab
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.

Oh thats not fine at all, getting some proper stands is what i would do.
Microlab
yea I know but what is apart from stands?
PaULiN0
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.

Microlab
