SETTING UP THE DSP
LOUDSPEAKERS
Positioning the digital loudspeakers
Safety warnings
• Do not expose the speakers to dripping or splashing.
• Do not place any object filled with liquid, such as a vase, on the
speakers.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the
speakers.
To avoid overheating
Do not position the speakers:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources, such as a radiator.
• Directly on top of heat producing equipment.
The back panel of the DSP loudspeaker acts as a heatsink and requires
adequate ventilation. Ensure that air can flow around it.
The back panel normally runs warm to the touch even when the speakers
are silent.
To obtain the best sound
For best results adjust the position of the loudspeakers while listening to
music.
If possible, have the most acoustically absorbent wall in the room behind
the front speakers. Ideally have each DSP loudspeaker at least 0.5m (20")
from a corner, and position them approximately 0.25m (10") from the wall.
If you are using a DSP loudspeaker as a centre channel, place the speaker
centrally between the main left-right pair and, if possible, arrange for the
treble units of the three speakers to be approximately the same height.
You can configure the frequency response of the DSP loudspeakers to
compensate for a position close to a wall or corner; see To adjust the
frequency response, page 35.
