| Rack Ears |
| Flanges protruding from the front panel of a piece of rackmount gear that are used to secure the item to the rack rails. In some cases, rack ears are extended parts of the front panel of the item. In other cases, rack ears are smaller "L" brackets that attach to the front sides of the item. Typically bolts pass through holes in the rack ears and are screwed into the rack rails to secure the item into the rack. |

| The Golden Mean |
What is the Golden Mean, a.k.a. the Golden Ratio, a.k.a. a ratio of 0.618? It's a mathematical relationship discovered by the Greeks that occurs widely in nature and is also used for various things, such as finding the optimum room dimensions for the best acoustic results. But here's another application for you to try: use the Golden Mean to calculate your listening position in your studio. Place your listening position at a distance from the back wall equal to the Golden Ratio times the length of the room.
So, if your room is 20 feet long, place the listening position at 12.36 feet (0.618 x 20) from the back wall, then create an equilateral triangle with your monitors based the listening position.
Note that this technique works best in a rectangular room; as the room's dimensions approach a square, it will be less effective. |
