Positioning
Positioning
Every room will have its own particular sound characteristics. Any room is also shaped
and decorated uniquely, and therefore remains independent regarding options for
positioning loudspeakers. The following steps are general suggestions that will make the
correct positioning easier to achieve.
General recommendations
Following explanations refer to Fig. 4:
• The distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position should be the
same (B). Try to achieve an isosceles triangle.
• The distance between the loudspeakers should be the same or better slightly less
than the distance between each loudspeakers and your listening position (A, B).
• The closer the listening position is in relation to the loudspeakers, the closer the
speakers can be positioned to each other.
(As a starting point, it is recommended that the speakers be about 2 meters apart
from each other for the best results (A).)
• If the speakers are positioned too close to each other, the stereo image will not seem
realistic; if that distance is too wide, the image may leave an acoustic hole in the
middle.
• Paying attention to the image during listening tests will help dictate optimum
placement during experimentation and set-up.
CAUTION EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness can affect the color of any natural wood veneer
(the structural integrity of the cabinet will not be affected).
X To maintain the aesthetic quality of the loudspeakers for the long term, placing such in
very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided.
