Speaker Placement
Please spend some time considering placement prior to installing the speaker. Once
it is installed, it is not to be easily moved or repositioned. Each room has its specific
acoustics but there are some general rules:
Location
TAGA Harmony speakers can be installed almost anywhere thanks to our unique
sound characteristic which is strong and powerful, and has a wide dispersion field.
General notes
In-wall
In-ceiling
Placing the speakers near a corner will tend to
increase their bass output, but may result in
“boomy” or “muddy” sound.
Corner placement close to the walls provides
a good balance of bass output and accuracy.
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).
To add extra bass and definition to your system we recommend TAGA Harmony Custom
Installations or traditional subwoofers.
Placement for critical listening in stereo (2 speakers)
In-wall
In-ceiling
Place the front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from your listening position,
at ear level while seated.
Place the left and right speakers at an equal
distance from your listening position.
Aim the speaker toward your listening position
(if your speakers have this feature).
If the speakers are installed in a wall which
is around 300 cm (10 feet) away from your
listening position, place them no more than
300 cm (10 feet) apart from each other
and no less than 150 cm (5 feet).
Place the speakers no more than 300 cm
(10 feet) apart from each other and no less
than 150 cm (5 feet).
Placement for entertainment listening or background music (1 or more speakers)
In-wall
In-ceiling
In rectangular smaller rooms [below 30 square
meters (320 square feet)] usually 1 or 2
speakers should work fine. If you use 2 –
place them near opposite corners. If you use 1
– place it on the most empty and biggest wall.
In rectangular smaller rooms [below 30 square
meters (320 square feet)] usually 1 or 2
speakers should work fine. If you use 2 –
place them near opposite corners.
If you use 1 – place it in the center.
In irregular or larger rooms use more than 2 speakers and place them evenly across the space
for good sound dispersion.
