Placement of your loudspeakers will greatly affect their performance. The following guidelines should
be considered:
•
Placing the loudspeakers at least 6-8 feet (1.8-2.5m) apart will provide the best stereo sound and
image.
•
The shape of the room will affect the bass performance, especially when loudspeakers are placed in
the corner of the room.
•
Positioning the tweeters so that they play at the listeners ear level provides for optimum playback.
•
Keeping the loudspeaker wire away from AC outlets will reduce interference.
The shape of the listening room and the furnishings will change the way your system sounds. The bass
frequencies will generally be affected by the positioning and treatment of the room. There will be more
perceived bass when a speaker is moved closer to a wall boundry. In general, however, loudspeakers
should be kept away from side walls as much as possible, as these surfaces can adversely affect the
stereo imaging experienced at the listening position. Positioning the loudspeakers at least 12-15” away
from the side walls will generally provide the best performance.

These two loudspeakers require that the stabilization bars supplied
in the box be attached to the bottom of their cabinets to ensure that
they are steady, solid and stable. Not attaching these bars can result
in a product that may tip over easily so be sure to install them to
avoid any potential damage. Simply turn the cabinet over so you
have access to the bottom and attach the bars with the supplied
hardware.
