RECOMMENDATIONS

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Height

  -  To  use  Miles  Bookshelf  Speakers  as  stereo  speakers  from  a  fixed 

listening area, the Speakers should be located at the ear-level of a listener who 

is seated in the listening location. 

Distance 

-  It  is  recommended  that  the  distance  between  each  of  the  Miles 

Bookshelf Speakers be shorter than that from the speakers to a listener. For a 

perfect sound quality, both of the speakers should be tilted inward toward the 

listener.

Position

  -  For  the  ultimate  sound  performance,  the  speakers  should  be 

situated in a vertical direction. If they are not in the ear-level of a listener i.e. 

much  higher  or  lower  than  recommended,  they  can  be  put  on  their  side  for 
off-axis performance.

Amplifier Considerations

An amplifier should be well and carefully selected. The range of Miles 

Bookshelf Speakers’ impedance is between 4 to 8 ohms. Thus, the amplifier 

chosen needs to be able to support a 4-ohm load. For an amplifier with 

a  switch,  it  is  required  to  set  to  select  a  4-ohm  compatible  operation 

mode. If an amplifier is not selected or setup properly, the amplifier or 

the speakers can be damaged. 
Amplifiers between 15 to 95 watts per channel can be used with the Miles 

Bookshelf  Speakers  along  with  good  care.  In  case  audible  distortion 

occurs, it is suggested to turn the volume down until the distortion is 

gone. Likewise, when there is audible distortion, it is required that the 

speaker and amplifier not play for more than a few seconds. 

Usage-Specific Recommendations
Bookshelf Speakers
To  use  the  Miles  Bookshelf  Speakers  as  bookshelf  speakers,  the  two 

speakers need to be at the same hight as different heights of the speakers can 

result in degrading sounds quality. Try to place the speakers as close to 

the ear level as possible no matter the listening area is at a seated level 

or standing level.

Stereo Speaker on Stands
Likewise, please make sure that the speakers are positioned at the ear 

level of a listener when they are used with speaker stands. Therefore, 

speaker stands with a proper height should be used. To calculate the 

perfect ear level, measure the height of the listener’s ear when seated 

in a listening area, then subtract 15 cm. For instance, if the listener’s 

ear is 100 cm. from the floor when he/she sits, the appropriate height of 

speaker stands will be around 85 cm. high.

Desktop Near-field Monitor
In  addition,  the  Miles  Bookshelf  Speakers  can  be  used  as  desktop/

near-field monitor speakers e.g., next to the side of a display or mixing 

console. However, the Miles Bookshelf Speakers should not be located 

close to CRT displays or other magnetic-sensitive equipment since they 

are not shielded. In case placing the Miles Bookshelf Speakers at the 

ear-level hight is not possible, it is suggested to use Monitor Isolation 

Pads to tilt the speakers back or to decouple them from the desk level.
