Ear Level - the Woofer or the Tweeter?

[cxz001]

Hmm, so I've been reading about how to position the speaker correctly, and I have this speaker:

Should I use tweeter or the woofer as ear level reference?


(And the picture is incorrect, it's a much much taller speaker)

tweeter

^ what he said

The general consensus is that sound becomes less directional at lower frequencies...

 

[xrintrahx]

^So... subwoofer at ear level?

 

[LeninGHOLA]

The bass on those speakers will remain directional no matter what. Don't worry about that. Always have tweeters at ear level, or at least aiming at ear level.

smaller speaker.

 

[cxz001]

there's 2 smaller ones... which one?

 

[jeremyshaw]

The black one. The white one is a midrange speaker (or is at least supposed to be).

 

[cxz001]

the one at the very top? like with a black pointy thing?

Tweeter is ear level.

Yes, the smallest one.
