speaker placement
and room acoustics
The listening room is one of the
most variable elements in the hi-fi
chain and its effect cannot be
emphasised too strongly, nor can
its effect be reliably predicted.
Spacing the speakers
approximately 2m - 3m (6ft. -
10ft.) apart will allow the stereo
images to develop fully. You should
sit at a distance at least equal
to, and preferably greater
than, the distance between
the speakers. Be aware also that soft furnishings
near to a speaker will deaden the
sound - similarly, nearby reflective
surfaces may brighten up the
sound. Move the speakers until
you are satisfied that the sound is
right and that the stereo image is
well defined.
Installation and operation
Positioning the speaker in a corner
or near to a side wall is not
recommended as the significant
bass boost caused by this position
will affect the sound and cause the
stereo image to deteriorate.
It is best to place the speakers
symmetrically within the room,
relative to the walls, ceiling and
floor, where possible.
