Positioning
Dynaudio loudspeakers consist of classic bass reflex loudspeaker designs with no unusual or extraordinary
positioning demands. Every room will still have its own particular sound characteristics. Any room is also shaped
and decorated uniquely, and therefore remains independent regarding options for positioning loudspeakers.
The following steps are general suggestions that will make the correct positioning easier to achieve.

General recommendations
The following explanations refer to Figure 3.
▪
The distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position should be the same (B). Try to achieve an isosceles
triangle.
▪
The distance between the loudspeakers should be the same or better slightly less than the distance between each
loudspeaker and your listening position (A, B).
▪
The closer the listening position is in relation to the loudspeakers, the closer the speakers can be positioned to each
other.
▪
As a starting point, it is recommended that the speakers be about 2 meters apart from each other for the best results (A).
▪
If the speakers are positioned too close to each other, the stereo image will not seem realistic; if that distance is too wide,
the image may leave an acoustic hole in the middle.
▪
Paying attention to the image during listening tests will help dictate optimum placement during experimentation and setup.
