Speaker placement

The listening room is one of the 

most variable elements in the 

hi-f i chain and its ef fect cannot 

be emphasised too strongly, nor 

can its ef fect be reliably 

predicted. Spacing the speakers 

approximately 2m - 3m (6f t. - 

10f t.) apart will allow the stereo 

images to develop fully. You 

should sit at a distance at least 

equal to, and preferably greater  

than, the distance between  

the speakers.

Posit ioning the speaker in a 

corner or near to a side wall is 

not recommended as the 

is right and that the stereo 

image is well def ined.

As Uni-Q has a wide, uniform 

dispersion, we recommend that 

you star with the speaker facing 

f lat into the room with no 

toe-in. A more focussed centre 

image may be achieved in your 

room with a small degree of 

toe-in, but overall soundstage 

width may be reduced. It is 

worth taking the t ime to 

experiment with what works 

best for you and your room.

Installation and operation

signif icant bass boost caused 

by this posit ion will af fect the 

sound and cause the stereo 

image to deteriorate. 

It is best to place the speakers 

symmetrically within the room, 

relat ive to the walls, ceiling and 

f loor,  where  possible.

Be aware also that sof t 

furnishings near to a speaker 

will deaden the sound - 

similarly,  nearby  ref lect ive 

surfaces may brighten up the 

sound. Move the speakers unt il
