11 Tensor Alpha (Active Version) Manual / english
The ideal positioning of your loudspeaker is pretty much bound to the specific acoustics
of your room. We hope the following hints will prove to be helpful for your set up.
a) General Recommendations:
Avoid any obstructions between the speakers and your ears – you should be able
to see the loudspeakers completely. Furthermore, avoid setting up your loudspeak-
ers close to objects that reflect sound waves too intensely.
The listening position should not be right in front of a wall.
b) Distances
Recommended minimum distance between loudspeakers and walls:
to the side: 1 meter or more, to the back: 0.5 meters or more.
Recommended minimum distance between the loudspeakers: 2 meters.
Recommended minimum distance to the listening spot: 2 meters.
Generally speaking, the listening distance should correspond to the distance
between the loudspeakers.
c) The Stereo Triangle
In stereo applications, the optimum listening position
should be at the top of an imaginary equilateral triangle
with the two loudspeakers being placed at the other
two points of this triangle. The loudspeakers should be
aligned with the listener’s position.
