In our consideration of multi-channel monitoring, it is important to understand the following three key

points.

[Fig. 2] Three keys of multichannel monitoring

In addition to the above three points, this document will discuss the construction of a monitor system, and

the measurements and adjustments that are necessary in order to create a multi-channel playback

environment.

It should be noted that this booklet is written for medium-to-small multichannel studios, and that much of

the material (e.g., speaker placement, delay adjustment, bass management) will not apply to surround

monitoring in a large space, such as in a movie theater or in a dubbing studio where the final mix of a film

is being made.
