Yeah, I think you're probably right... I was lucky when I set my Mackies up coz they just sounded right straight away.. Didn't really need to fiddle around with the placement too much... I'll forward your mail to him and make sure he's checked the + and - connections!!! (I hope he has!)...
cheers, Nick -----Original Message----- From: Ed Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 March 2002 14:07 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Tannoy Reveal Actives Sounds like it's wired 'out-of-phase' at your mates studio? Check the wiring and make sure all the 'plus' and 'minus' (or red + black, whatever) connections match. If you connect a 'plus' to a 'minus' you may experience problems as described. Also, position the speakers at a slight angle, so they do not sit head-on to the rear wall. This can cause the soundwave to bounce back and cancel out certain frequencies.
