The toe-in angle for each speaker should be exactly the same for best sonic
results. This can be done effectively by eye or by using a tape measure or
straight edge to measure the amount of toe-in from a forward firing position.
Aligning your speakers with a slight tilt either forward or rearward will help
“tune” them to the room and to your listening position. If your sitting position
aligns your ears on a plane that is lower than the midrange and tweeter, you
may wish to tilt the speakers downward so the acoustic output from the speak-
ers reaches your ears on a direct plane. If you are seated in a position that
directs the sound toward your chest or shoulders, it may be necessary to tilt
the speakers slightly rearward so the acoustic output from the midrange and
tweeters reaches your ears on a direct plane. Toe-in, tilting and moving the
speakers closer and further from walls and corners are all part of the system
tuning procedure. Don’t be afraid to experiment as this will result in the best
sound. If a specific location yields satisfying results and you wish to continue
to experiment with speaker placement, mark the ideal location so you can
always return to it.
When installing your speakers, be very careful to keep them on the same plane
(exactly the same distance from the front wall). It is advisable to use a tape
measure or string to measure the exact distance the speakers are located from
the front wall. (See figure 7.)
