Speaker distances
Distance selection between the
listening position and the indi-
vidual speakers.
The M51 offers the option to
make sure that the acoustic
signal reaches you at the right
time at the listening position.
Here, the M51 needs to know
the exact distance from the
speaker to the listener.
Main speaker distance
The first time you press the
Distance softkey, you can set
the distance to the front
speakers
and using the
rotary control knob. These two
speakers should be the same
distance from the listener and
you can select in the range from
2.0 to 9.9 metres.
L
1m ≈ 40 inch
1m ≈ 3.3 feet
Center distance
You can setup the centre
speaker distance by pressing
the Distance softkey again.
Here, you also use the rotary
control knob to set the distance.
L
In order to achieve optimum
acoustic reproduction, there
should be a certain relationship
between the front speaker
distances and the centre
speaker distance. For this
reason, the M51 offers you
exactly the correct range to
make your selection from.
Example:
Selected distance:
and = 4.5 m
Optimum distance:
= 3.0 – 4.5 m
If you can't position the Center
speaker within this distance
range, you will just have to
select a distance which most
closely approximates to it.
