Desk

The 58″ × 28″ desk on the east wall in Layout B-1, facing west, with its monitor centered on it on a HUANUO FlowLift arm clamped to the desk's back edge: the Gigabyte M27Q, its front 14″ back from the desk's front edge, or an Alienware AW3426DW to compare, 15″ back at the middle of its curve. A pair of speakers on either side of the monitor wires back to the AS-50R on the audio racks.

Speakers

Inches. Seated facing the east wall, north is on your left. Each speaker's front sits level with the monitor's front, its outer corner ½″ in from the desk's end, turned so the two axes cross 18″ in front of the desk. The arm's clamp sits on the desk's back edge, its center 3½″ left of the desk's center; its plate is drawn 3½″ square, a guess, since HUANUO doesn't publish its size. Where your ears sit is an assumption until measured.

Speaker runs to the racks

SpeakerAlong the floorUp and acrossTotal, with 8″ slackBuy

From the AS-50R on the floor under the west rack: along the floor to the north wall, east along it and south along the east wall behind the desk, with the other cables that take that route; then a 90° turn up the 1″ gap behind the desk, across the desktop to the speaker's back and up to its terminals. The AS-50R's terminals are taken as ≈1½″ off the floor and each speaker's as ≈3″ above the desk.

On the main system

An AS-50R output

The desk pair takes the third of the AS-50R's three speaker outputs (the two stand pairs use the others), so it plays whichever signal path is selected, through the same chain as the stand speakers: the path's amp, the NFJ&FX PW-6 switches, the LC30, then the AS-50R. Nothing connects to the laptop.

Chosen from the desktop control box

Picking the desk pair is an AS-50R output change, which is on IR like the rest of the rack, so the desktop control box can switch to it the way it switches paths.
