CAUTION
Excessive brightness
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness can affect the colour of any natural wood veneer (the structural integrity of
the cabinet will not be affected).
▪
To maintain the aesthetic quality of the loudspeakers for the long term, placing them in very warm, very cold, or very
humid environments should be avoided.

Figure 4: Distance to walls
Distance to back and side walls
Every loudspeaker not only disperses sound energy directly into the room, but also to the side and even
backwards. As a result, time-delayed reflections occur and add to the original music signal. Thus, positioning
loudspeakers too close to walls can reduce sound quality.
Dynaudio loudspeakers were developed to be placed free-standing, and therefore they reach their optimum
performance when positioned as clear of any walls as possible.
▪
To reduce possible influences from the back and sidewalls, the distance to these boundaries should ideally not be less
than 0.5 meters (see Figure 4).
Adapting the bass reflex port
To minimize low frequency reflections, which will be heard as a thickening of the sound, the loudspeaker models
can be adapted to the room’s acoustic character by using foam plugs in the bass reflex port. This will essentially
