Sound optimization

Besides being highly directional, the 8c has a very flat power

response. These traits make it relatively insensitive to acoustic

imperfections of the listening room.

Carefully positioning and configuring the 8c will result in

remarkable in-room performance.

When using 8c's in a two–channel stereo setup, position them

in an equilateral triangle with your listening position.

The normal equalizer settings for the 8c yield a perfectly flat

response at listening distances of 1 metre (3'3") or more.

The strength of the (accurate) direct sound from your monitors

decreases by 6 dB per doubling of the listening distance.

However, the strength of the (uncorrelated) reverberant sound

in your room is more or less constant. As such, choosing a

smaller listening distance will usually increase sound clarity.

The reference axis of the 8c is perpendicular to the baffle and

equidistant to the woofer and tweeter axes. The loudspeakers

should ideally be positioned in such a manner that the axis

is near ear height. However, as long as you are within 15° of

the reference axis, variations in frequency response are near

imperceptible.

The horizontal on and off axis frequency responses of the 8c

are very similar; the 8c sounds virtually the same whether

you're straight in front of it or at an angle of up to 45°. As such,

the direct sound will not be significantly affected by toeing

the loudspeakers in (aiming them at your listening position)

or out (aiming them so that they are parallel to each other).

This, in turn, allows you to adjust stereo imaging without

compromising the spectral balance of the sound.

Generally speaking, more toe–in will yield a more focused,

precise, and drier sound by reducing the strength of lateral

reflections from 100 Hz upwards. Using less toe-in will increase

lateral reflections, usually resulting in livelier sound and a wider
