AUDIO PHYSIC`S Sound Advice
If you want to increase the sound quality of your STEP plus even more in terms
of precision and bass response, especially when using the loudspeakers on
a sideboard or shelf, you should definitely try out our high-quality feet
(for example VCF II Component in the image on the right) on your
loudspeakers, The “Vibration Control“ feet reduce the transmission of
vibrations between the loudspeakers and the surface on which they are
placed. In response to sound energy, shelves and cupboard surfaces in particular
tend to produce natural vibrations that can, in turn, be transmitted to the loudspeaker cabinet. These
micro-vibrations have an adverse effect on the quality of the sound, especially in the midrange area,
which may quickly result in a diffuse and less precise sound image. Our “Vibration Control“ feet are
perfectly suited to stop the transmission of vibrations from the surface, leading to an audible
improvement in the level of detail and realistic sound reproduction. Another advantage of using VCF
Component fee
t,
is that they also reduce the risk of scratches on cupboard and shelf surfaces. For
more information and advice, please contact your dealer.

Positioning the Loudspeakers
1.
Once the loudspeakers are positioned parallel to the side walls, turn them inwards until an
imaginary line is pointing from the tweeter of each loudspeaker towards your preferred
listening position. If you prefer to listen to music alone, these imaginary lines coming from
the loudspeakers should ‘intersect‘ at your listening position. This will result in excellent
local
iz
ation and spatial imaging. If you would rather listen to music in a group, turn the
loudspeakers further inwards so that the imaginary lines cross in front of the listening position.
First step: Angle the loudspeakers so that
an imaginary line is in place between the
tweeters and your listening position.
2.
If you prefer a wider soundstage and more generous spatial imaging, position the loudspeakers
at less of an angle so that the imaginary lines cross just behind the listening position. Once a
specific angle has been reached, the spatial image in the
center
between the loudspeakers will
begin to lose structure and precision. You can easily identify the ideal angle by using a mono
recording. When the voice of the artist sounds clear again and comes directly from the middle
between the loudspeakers, you have found the ideal position.
Second step: Experiment with the angle.
When it comes to positioning your
loudspeakers, your listening taste plays an
important role. To find the ideal position,
mono recordings are extremely useful,
particularly those with a singing voice and
few instruments.
