Positioning the loudspeakers
To achieve optimum sound
performance
set up your
loudspeakers so that your favourite
listening position and the speakers
form an approximate equilateral
triangle (as shown below). The
speakers should radiate from an
acoustically hard environment such as
your living room wall into the more
dampened part of the listening area.
Please note that positioning the
speakers opposite to large and
smooth walls may cause unpleasant
reflections. In order not to impede
sound performance ensure that no
objects are placed in front or too
near to the speakers. You need a
clear line of sight to your speakers
to achieve the best results.

Putting your speakers up against a
wall or in a corner will emphasise
the bass frequencies.
According to the acoustic
properties of your living room
changes in bass volume can occur
between ‘’larger distance (slim
bass)’’ and ‘’in the angle of the room
(beefy bass)’’. Hence, during the
installation process,
it is
recommended to move the speakers
in incremental measures, until the
best tonal balance is achieved.
The Scala speakers are designed so
that they can be placed close to a
wall without causing any problems.
It may be acoustically advantageous
to angle the speakers to the
listening position, as this can
reduce reflections from the
neighbouring walls.

If you own a Revox M100 or Revox
Joy Network Music Player, the
sound performance in the room can
be optimised by selecting the
appropriate pre-programmed DSP
characteristic curves from the
“settings” menu of the Revox
device. This will optimise the sound
performance for the model of Revox
speaker used and the position of the
speakers in the room.
