How should I position my Focal speakers?

Post by Purusha »

Please help me to understand what would be the best way to soffit mount these monitors?

In the manual it is said all 4 ways are possible although I see them used as in the photo all the time.
By design the Twin6 Be’s are rather intended for a landcape orientation, though in some situations they could be positioned
vertically. As seen in the earlier rear panel description, the Twin6 Be has a switch allowing to choose which drive unit is to
reproduce the mid frequencies (see below) (fig. E). Consequently it will always be possible, as desirable, to configure the speakers
in a “mirror” (ie symetrical) way (fig. F). As a general rule having the “midrange” driver on the inside of the cabinet results in
better imaging.
God is the best DIY creator :)
