Setting the speakers up
Spatial acoustics is a complex subject, on which some very good and detailed literature
is available from specialist retailers. More precise details would go beyond the scope
of this manual. Using the following basic knowledge, you will, however, quickly achieve
good results.
In essence, the arrangement of the loudspeakers within the room as well as the latter's
shape, furnishings and fixtures have a decisive influence on the sound quality. The aim
is to achieve a balanced frequency response and good spatial reproduction at the spot
where the listener is positioned.
We would encourage you to experiment a bit with the set-up of the loudspeakers and
the listening position. The drawing below shows the basic loudspeaker set-up. Even
minor shifts or angling in of the loudspeakers can produce an audible improvement in
the reproduction.
Recommendation:
Basic width
Distance from wall - side / to rear
Listening distance
The speakers should be set up in such a way that there is no risk of them toppling over or
of tripping over a cable.
Pick a stable, level surface.
Ensure that the surrounding area is dry and free of dust.
Avoid proximity with any sources of heat and with direct sunlight.
Do not put any heavy objects on top of the cables or loudspeakers.
Make sure that the loudspeakers sit firmly on the surface in order to avoid any vibrations.
A few tips and recommendations for fully utilising the acoustic potential:
Position the loudspeakers within the room as clear of any obstructions as
possible. Wherever possible, the distance from the walls should be at least 0.5
