◆ Recommended Speaker Setup
It is true that proper speaker placement has a huge impact on sound quality. There are many
different theories, but all rooms and tastes are different so it’s impossible to specify a correct
placement. We do suggest you experiment with a few different locations to see what works for you.
As a general rule of thumb for the best soundstage balance, the speakers should be equidistant from
side walls and a different distance from rear walls. For the best bass response on Calyx Speaker
System, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 6-12” between the rear of the
speakers and the rear wall. For height, position the speakers with the tweeters at eye level of your
most common listening position.
◆ Speaker Conditioning and Break-in
Although a break-in period is not required, we recommend that you play between 24 to 48 hours of
music through the speakers before doing any critical listening or speaker placement. Just set your
iPod to “Repeat All” and adjust the volume to normal listening level. You can check out all that old
stuff in your library and your neighbors will absolutely love you for it.
◆ Speaker Cleaning
We don’t recommend using solvents or cleaners on Calyx cabinets or speakers. Just wipe down with
soft, dry cloth.
