Careful consideration should also be given to the physical spacing between the
speakers. Alesis recommends that the distance between the speakers for stereo
applications equal the distance between the listener and either speaker. In other
words, the listener and the two speakers are at the three corners of a triangle having
equal- length sides. The illustration below shows this concept. Note that both
speakers are turned in somewhat, so that the prime listening position is directly in
front of each speaker. Applications that require monitoring by more than one
engineer are accommodated by a smaller rotation of the cabinets. This will widen the
prime listening position somewhat.

NOTE: On some mounting surfaces the vinyl finish of the M1 Active’s cabinet
may cause it to slip too easily. Included with this reference manual packet
are two pieces of adhesive backed non-skid foam. If necessary, apply the pad
to either the bottom (for vertical placement) or cabinet side nearest the ports
(for horizontal placement). If you plan on using the M1 Actives in both
modes, simply cut the pad in half and apply to both the bottom and the side
