(for small, interactive rooms) and three feet (for large, more
neutral rooms).

marks. Using the same procedure as above, begin moving into
the room toward the opposite sidewall, progressing between
the two pieces of tape. As above, listen for the point in the
room where your voice transitions from bass-heavy and diffuse
to neutral. Mark this point with tape. Continue your progres-
sion until there is an obvious interaction with the opposite
wall in front of you and mark this point with tape. The four
pieces of tape now form a rectangle that establishes the Zone
of Neutrality for the loudspeaker to be installed on that side of
the room. Using the four marks as your guide, tape an outline
to define the boundaries of the rectangle.
6. Repeat this process for each speaker location individually.
These are your Zones of Neutrality, one for each channel.
Theoretically, the Zone of Neutrality for any room runs like a path, parallel
