Hello,
I'm looking at buying a set of JBL4412A's and was wondering the following:
The manual says that they should be placed 1 - 1.5 meters away from your eye level. From all my years of recording, I'm now confused, a 12" speakers sitting 1 - 1.5 meters away. They must be crazy because logic tells me that a speaker that size has to have a some space.
I've read in other forms and in the manual that these speakers are rated nearfield and in other places they are rated semi nearfield. If semi-nearfield then how far a part shoudl the speakers be and how far away from the person should they be?
I can't imagine that these speakers should actually be that close to someone.
Now, the 4408A's I also have and they sound great 1 - 1.5 meters away.
Your opinion and what have you done with your speakers and how do they sound in that position.
Thanks for you help in advance.
