Speaker Positioning
Adjustment of speaker position following initial installation
will probably further improve the sound quality and is usually
worthwhile.
In either stereo or home theatre installations, try to ensure that the
immediate surroundings of each speaker are similar in acoustic
character. For example, if one speaker is adjacent to bare walls
while the other is adjacent to soft furnishings and curtains, both
the overall sound quality and the stereo image are likely to be
compromised.
Conventional Stereo Systems
To begin with, the speakers should be positioned between 1.5m
and 3m apart at two corners of an equilateral triangle completed
by the listening area at the third corner. The speakers should be
approximately 0.5m away from the back wall, and at least 0.5m
away from any side walls (above).
Home Theatre Systems
If the speakers are to be used for the front channels in a home
theatre system, they should be placed closer together than for
2-channel audio, because the surround channels tend to widen
the image. Positioning the speakers within approximately 0.5m
of the sides of the screen will also help keep the sound image
in scale with the visual image. As with conventional stereo
positioning, the speakers should ideally be at least 0.5m away
from any side walls. If you would prefer to place your speaker
against the back wall and this location results in over emphasised
bass, see the Fine Tuning section of this manual for information
on using the foam plugs.
Stray magnetic fields
The speaker drive units create stray magnetic fields that extend
beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. We recommend you keep
magnetically sensitive articles (CRT television and computer
screens, computer discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards and
the like) at least 0.5m from the speaker. LCD, OLED and plasma
screens are not affected by magnetic fields.
