8.3 Choosing the right music
The Evidence Platinum was designed to reproduce the music faithfully and authentically
to the original, and as good as the source, amplifier and cables allow. There is no limit
and no focus on any particular kind of music.
8.4 getting the best sound from your room
No HiFi equipment, no matter how advanced or expensive, will sound better than the
room allows it to. Every room has its own room acoustics and a certain sound character
and will impose it on the sound from your loudspeaker. An excellent room can make
a mediocre system sound great, but a poor room can make a state of the art system
sound mediocre. Make sure to make the most of you room to achieve optimum perfor-
mance. Here are some general guidelines of how to improve the sound of your room
significantly. As no two rooms are room identical, be sure to consult your Dynaudio
dealer to have a specific take on your particular situation.
Improving your listening room
The sound quality of any loudspeaker is influenced by the furniture, wall materials and
other objects in the listening room. For example, large rooms without much furniture and
many clean, hard wall surfaces can often exhibit a bright and diffuse sound with diverse
echoing frequencies. A room with thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will
usually offer a slightly warmer, darker and less lively sound.
Dynaudio speakers have been developed to deliver the best results in normal living
room acoustics. This means that room is not too damped. Achieving this can range from
simply putting a rug between the listening position and the speakers to using dedicated
bass traps and acoustic control devices.
