Positioning Speakers
How you position your speaker can greatly affect your speaker’s performance. While many factors such as room shape and wall
material affect performance, there are general tips that you can follow to maximize performance in any room. The following
section provides tips on speaker positioning.
Speaker positioning tips
Place your speakers on a flat, stable surface to minimize vibration.
Position your speakers at the same height, and maintain the same speaker-to-wall and speaker-to-listener
distance for both speakers.
The acoustic axis of each speaker falls on the mid-point between the speaker’s high frequency driver and
low frequency driver. Position your speakers such that the acoustic axes are at the same height as your
ears.
