Placement
Floorstanding Speakers Remarks:
• Never drag the speakers to move them, as this may damage the spikes and/or the cabinet.
Always lift the speakers and carry them to a new location.
• The speakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and fall over during
earthquakes, when rocked or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, the speakers should be
anchored to the wall, floor or other solid objects.

Before deciding where to place the speakers, search for the best location in your room, keep in
mind the following rules and base on the figure on this page as a guide:
•
For the best results, place the speakers 150 -250 cm (5 – 8 feet) apart from each other and
this distance should be around ¾ of the distance from your listening position to the front line of
speakers.
•
Keep the tweeters approximately at ear level while seated.
•
Twisting the speakers a little inward towards the listening position may give a more spacious
and realistic soundstage.
•
Placing the speakers near a corner or back wall will tend to increase their bass output, but may
result in “boomy” or “muddy” sound.
•
Placing the speakers further into the room will tend to decrease their bass output, but may
result in improved articulation and clarity.
•
Place the speakers at least 60 cm (2 feet) away from corners and other surfaces which may
interfere or reflect sound (like tall furniture).
•
Some models can be labeled as the Left and Right channel (according to info on the rear
speaker label).
•
We suggest to experiment with speakers placement to achieve the best bass level and stereo
imaging in your room.
• Refer to the “HOME THEATRE” chapter if you also plan to use the speakers in your home
theatre system.
