• Place the speaker so the front face is slightly forward of any large object
that protrudes into the room - this could be a fireplace, bookcase
or television for example.
See stereo set up diagram
• Ensure that stereo pairs of loudspeakers are equidistant from the listening
position.
• It is best to position the front left/right pair (and centre channel loudspeaker
if you have a surround system) at the same height, usually at ear-level when
seated at the listening position.
If any of the speakers are mounted above or below ear level, then angle the
speaker towards the listening position.
• The distance between your left/right speakers and the listening position
should ideally create an equilateral triangle. As a general rule, the width
of the audio picture will be narrow if the speakers are too close together. If
they are too far apart the picture will be wide but there will be less central
definition
Use a well recorded vocal track to judge the ideal spot.
• To further enhance the audio picture or soundstage the speakers can
be angled/toed-in’. Start with the speakers angled so they will cross
approximately 50cm (2ft) behind the listening position. (See stereo set-up
diagram) Varying this angle will also subtly affect the vividness of the audio
picture, so again experiment.
A simple well recorded band with vivid vocals will help to achieve the best
position
