Positioning
The positioning of your loudspeakers for a two channel, stereo system very
much depends on your listening environment. Ideally you would place your
speakers 2 – 3m (6 – 10 ft) apart in the middle of your back wall and you would
sit approximately 2m away. However if this is not possible there are some other
simple recommendations that we would suggest.
Start by playing some different pieces of music that are familiar to you. If you
have a rear ported speaker (
RS1
/6/8 & LCR) try not to place them too close to
the wall. If they are too close you will find that the bass is very prominent.
Start by placing them about 20cm (8") from the wall. If you find there is too
much bass place them further away from the wall. If, on the other hand, you
find there isn’t enough bass for your liking, place them slightly closer to the
wall. The same applies with placing you loudspeakers next to a side-wall. If
possible do not place your loudspeakers any closer than 50cm (20") to your
side-wall.
Try varying the distance that your loudspeakers are apart from each other. If
they are placed too close together, this will result in poor stereo imaging. This
is when sound moves from left to right or right to left. For example a car in a
movie sound track. Equally, if they are placed too far apart, there may be a
large gap in the sound reproduction/stereo imaging. When listening to music
through your speakers, if you have them set up correctly, you shouldn’t notice
that the speakers are even there, the music should sound as if it is coming from
the centre of the two speakers.
For the positioning of a multi channel home cinema system, please refer to your
AV amplifier/receiver manual.
