When Kevin gets serious, he'll even hoist a speaker up on a forklift outside to get accurate measurements.
I'd think "in-room" measurements might be better if they were even closer that one meter, depending on the size of the room.Arbitrary, probably. Also makes it easier to measure in-room, vs a longer distance.
I think that's just the NS-10's, used as a check-mix to make sure it sounds good on cheap home and car stereos. The real studio speakers are often mounted in the wall.I know at Recording Studios the speakers in most studios sit in the end of the mixing board about 3' away..
Thats how its done when the music is mixed![]()

Nah, the speakers (Genelec, jbl, whatever) are often on the consoles meterbridge.
Large in wall speakers, even if they do exist, arent that common anymore.
-Then, consoles and other hardware are also dissapearing in a fast pace, so mixing today is often done with the speakers next to the computermonitor.
It's not about where anybody listens, rather, characterizing the loudspeaker. The limitation is the distance from which a reflection-free measurement may be made in any given environment. Most everyone can get reasonable mid- and high-frequency resolution at 1M without heroics.Other than computer speakers who listens that close? Shouldn't there also be a measurement at say 3 meters?
