RBH Sound Signature - Manual (Page 5)

n order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system,
it is important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your
listening room. Room reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence
the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality at the listening position. We
suggest you experiment with speaker placement to determine which location
offers the best overall sound. The diagram on page 5 should be used as a
general guide when setting up a home theater system and follows the
descriptions in the following paragraphs. Some speakers shown in the
diagram will not always be applicable to your individual system.
As a starting point, we recommend placing your left and right MAIN speakers
at least 15 inches from the back wall and 7 feet apart from each other. The
distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the
distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward
towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound
stage. Main speakers other than the models 641-SE, 1044-SE and 1266-SE
should be placed on stands which elevate the tweeter close to the height of
the ear.
The models 41-SE, 441-SE, 61-SE and 661-SE come with foam port plugs
installed in the rear firing ports. We recommend removing these foam plugs
unless the speakers are placed inside a cabinet or similar enclosed area.
The models 641-SE, 1044-SE and 1266-SE come with stabilizing feet. To
install, place each foot so that the center hole of the foot is over each pilot
hole on the bottom of the cabinet. Use the supplied screws to attach, noticing
that the pilot hole is drilled on an angle. This is done so that the foot will be
pulled in tight against the speaker cabinet. Install either the supplied spike
or rubber mount as necessary into the threaded insert.
