Far field monitors are an additional reference, and they&#8217;re also great for impressing clients and keeping a packed room engaged. For the majority of us, we&#8217;re going to be working on near fields, while far fields are typically reserved for only the biggest rooms and professional studios.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Speaker \u201cField\u201d and How Does That Affect Placement?<\/h2>\n<p>Speaker field goes hand-in-hand with the &#8220;sweet spot&#8221;; that&#8217;s a common phrase you&#8217;ll hear all the time when referring to speaker placement and set-up. The sweet spot is where our speakers are going to sound and perform their best. We want to get a nice, flat response out of them for critical listening, and we want to make sure that the stereo image isn&#8217;t too wide or too narrow.<\/p>\n<p>Picture the three corners of an equilateral triangle. Now imagine each speaker as a point, and picture yourself sat at your desk with your head as the tip, or the final point of the triangle. That&#8217;s the sweet spot. It doesn&#8217;t have to be perfectly measured, especially in a home studio, but at least try to eyeball your speaker placement. And of course, sit back, listen, and try different placements until everything sounds ideal to you.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the studio furniture you have, you can facilitate speaker placement using stands.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-studio-monitor-stands\/\">6 Best Studio Monitor Stands for Your Studio<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are Near Field Monitors?<\/h2>\n<p>Near field monitors tend to have smaller drivers, commonly between 5&#8243; and 8&#8243;. They&#8217;re positioned usually no more than a few feet away from the listener, so you get more of the direct sound leaving the speakers versus the reflected sound that&#8217;s bouncing around the room. This is what makes them ideal for critical mixing and mastering purposes, as well as editing to catch minor problems.<\/p>\n<p>Because of their smaller drivers, near fields don&#8217;t have sub bass extension; the frequency response is a bit tighter. You still get plenty of low-end, but the overall sound is going to be relatively flat, and ultimately a better representation of how a consumer will listen to the mix.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-home-studio-monitors\/\">Best Home Studio Monitors for 2022<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Where Do Near Field Monitors Sound Best?<\/h3>\n<p>Near field monitors sound best anywhere between 2 and 4 feet away from the listening position. You can place them on a monitor stand or directly on your desk. If placed on top of a hard, reflective surface, it&#8217;s a good idea to decouple them using monitor isolation pads. Try to get the speaker&#8217;s tweeter as close to ear level as possible for ideal placement.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Far Field Monitors?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55478\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55478\" style=\"width: 1030px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55478 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2.jpg\" alt=\"Near Field Monitors vs Far Field- What\u2019s the Difference?_2\" width=\"1030\" height=\"535\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-320x166.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-289x150.jpg 289w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-770x400.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-40x21.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-160x83.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-20x10.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-640x332.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-578x300.jpg 578w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-17x9.jpg 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-385x200.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Near-Field-Monitors-vs-Far-Field-Whats-the-Difference_2-600x312.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55478\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wall-mounted far fields, and near fields placed on the console. <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/deed.en\">CC<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Far field monitors are those massive installments you see in major studios. They have big drivers, sometimes more than one, and they&#8217;re mounted on the wall or directly in it, usually near the corners of the room. Because of their size, they&#8217;re often placed up to 10 feet or more away from the listening position.<\/p>\n<p>Bigger drivers produce more low-end frequencies, and the longer wavelengths have more time to develop since the speakers are farther away from the listening position. Room acoustics are going to play a much bigger role in how far fields sound, since you&#8217;re getting more reflected sound based on the distance from the speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Far fields are great for checking how a mix sounds as a whole, and of course, many clients love to bump far fields for fun.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/what-is-impedance\/\">What Is Impedance in Audio?
