 MPX speakers are designed to allow fl exible placement while providing 

a very large window of sound throughout your listening room. Please remember that although the following 

recommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening sets-ups are somewhat unique. Remember, 

whatever sounds best to you is correct.

Room Acoustics

GoldenEar Technology Invisa

®

 MPX speakers are designed to provide exceptional sound in a wide variety of 

domestic settings. It is important to note however that listening room construction, dimensions and furnishings
all play a part in the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve from your new speakers. The listening room will 

impose its own character on the performance capabilities of the speaker system. Regarding the room, please 
note that:

 

•  Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings in your room — curtains, carpets, 

 

 

sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound. The same room 

 

 

without any soft furnishings can produce an overall bright sound. The typical quantity of soft furnishings 

 

 

found in most living environments provides the right acoustic characteristics to allow the speakers to 

 

 

sound balanced. To help control for these differences, your new Invisa MPX speakers have a high 

 

 

frequency EQ switch to increase or decrease the HF level to accommodate different room acoustics 

  and 

placements;

 • Concrete 

fl oors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing wave problems;

 

•  Rooms where height, width and length are similar can exhibit signifi cant low-frequency standing 

 

 

wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. In such rooms avoid corner placement to minimize 

  acoustic 

problems.

The extra care you take in correctly positioning the speakers will result in greater listening enjoyment. So, keep the 

following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best speaker placement.

To ensure the best performance possible, observe the following placement guidelines:

LOCATION: When preparing to install your speakers pick a location that has the required clearance between 
wall studs or ceiling joists. Make sure to check for wiring, conduit, water pipes, HVAC ducts and other obstructions 
before cutting the installation hole.

ACCURATE TIMBRE: For the most accurate and natural timbre, for in-wall music installations, speakers’ high-

frequency drivers should be at approximately ear level. Stereo pairs should be placed approximately equal 
distance apart. Select locations that allow the sound to reach the listening area unobstructed by furnishings.

BALANCED BASS: Placing speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and reduce overall clarity. If possible, 
position speakers away from either side wall. This will ensure better bass performance and optimal 
midrange clarity.
