Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning

Question for you that use lasers for measurement.

Did the laser help considerably? I use a string now and feel it's pretty close, but read and article/post where the laser uncovered some discrepancies in setup.

Just wondering if the investment is justified-

Thanks for your help,

Gary

Using a laser is a little faster, but you should be able to do the same job without one.

I have a laser and really like it. It's not perfect, but infinitely useful. Assuming you've spent thousands on a system, another $50-$100 for a laser measure seemed like a good investment for me. Plus it comes in handy for all the things it was actually designed to do.

Hi i too have a laser ( Leica) but find it difficult to make really precisions work on one spot on the speaker since you are shaking the laser when shooting. When finding the correct distance from the lisening point.
I ended up using some strings which i found was easier to work with. One hold the string which is fixed at the sweet spot and another pushes the speaker.
However when finding the correct angle the laser is very easy to use.
good lisening Thastum
