Speaker Positions

OW Series speakers are designed for both high performance and background sound 

applications either indoors or outdoors.

If OW Series speakers are to be used for stereo or home theatre applications try to locate 
them as outlined in the following paragraphs:

Stereo Systems

In the majority of cases, stereo speakers should be between 2 m and 4 m (6 ft and 13 ft) 

apart. If the speakers are too close together, the stereo image will lack scale; if they’re too 
far apart, the image might have a weak central focus. The distance from the loudspeakers 
to the listening area should be similar to, or slightly more than, their distance apart. The 
closer the listening area is to the loudspeakers, the closer the speakers can be to each 

other. Paying attention to the stereo image will help dictate optimum speaker positioning. 
Diagram 2 illustrates basic speaker positioning.
