Positioning
Note:
To maintain the quality of the DM loudspeakers for the long term, placing such in
very warm, very cold, very humid environments and the exposure to direct
sunlight should be avoided.
The DM range consists 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
Following explanations refer to Fig. 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 loudspeakers 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 set-up.
