Room acoustics
For certain rooms it may also be beneficial to alter the room layout in order to achieve the very best sound.
If the sound seems overly bright, even after the adjustment switches have been set, adding more in the way
of soft materials will usually help – e.g. carpets, rugs,wall-hangings, heavy curtains, large cushions, sofas etc.
If the sound seems dull, reducing the amount of soft materials in the room can help. Also, breaking up flat,
unbroken surfaces such as large areas of wall, ceiling, floor and large windows with furniture, fittings and
other irregularly shaped items can prevent echoes and ‘standing waves’ (when sound waves bounce back
and forth across a room instead of being dispersed).
If you alter the acoustics of the room, it may then be necessary to re-adjust the loudspeaker settings to
match the new characteristics of the layout.
If you have any difficulties in achieving the best from your KLIMAX AKTIV system, your Linn retailer will be
able to examine your room and system setup and advise you on appropriate measures.
