Bass Direct into the Audient or the Rupert Neve? It Sounds Great.

The Core 59 is an amazing monitor, that upgraded my studio to levels I had never imagined... But they shouldn't be sold without the Core Sub.

One day I'll own these babies.

Confused by something, why is his left speaker on the right side and the right on the left in this video? 8-Inch speaker should be closer to the center (toward video monitor) not the other way around. This is the same for Core 47 and LYD 48. Was this just a setup mistake or intentional? Doesn't that effect the sound or the intent of the speaker being labeled "left" and "right"? What happens if they are switched like this, how is the sound effected??
Neumann KH310 also have the setup of the larger speaker to the center with the smaller on the outside. There must be a reason for this however I have seen other speakers with this configuration-- ATC SCM25A have the smaller speakers for the center.

Hi Scott. Thanks for chiming in. The placement and positioning was indeed intentional. There are no rules on how the woofers/tweeters should be placed. The important part to keep in mind when trying out different locations and orientations (we did several in this case) is that the tweeters should be at the same height as the listener's ears form an equilateral triangle with her/his ears.
The woofer is much less sensitive to placement and can be on the inside as well as the outside. Or even above if you have a pair of speakers like Core 59 that has a rotatable plate with the midrange woofer and the tweeter. In fact, after tedious testing this was in fact the solution in our own Dynaudio Unheard studio where we had Core 59's with the woofers on top: instagram.com/p/B7o04tlBUlb/
So, as along as the tweeters is the key point for forming the equilateral triangle, the woofers can go anywhere.

@@dynaudioprofessional Thanks!
Then why label the speaker when being sold at all? When purchasing these speakers they are labeled "left" and "right". Maybe future products should not labeled as to give no impression of which way a Core or a LYD should be placed leaving it up to the consumer to decide.
I thought I read somewhere that low frequencies travel slower to the ear and so to have a true stereo balanced field one should have the woofer slightly closer hence on the inside so frequencies hit the ear at the same time. Is this not true?
I may try my Dynaudio in opposite placement now.

@@scottglasgowmusic well in the case of the 3 way LYDs and Core 47s, which do not have a rotatable plate, the placement is symmetrically opposed whether or not the tweeters are out or in, so you need to buy two different products. As you might see in the shops, the Core 59, which is the one with the rotatable plate, and the two way speakers, there is no L or R designation in the name.
