PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Like any loudspeaker the Reference Four is affected to a great extent by the
listening environment. The Reference Four is quite easy to accommodate, but
following some simple guidelines will help:
•
Position the loudspeakers symmetrically in the room (e.g. equal distance
from either side wall). Where possible avoid asymmetrical rooms (e.g.”L”
shaped or rooms with a single alcove
to one side)
-
any asymmetry will
result in an imbalance of the stereo
image, and an uneven frequency
response.
•
Don’t place the loudspeakers too far
apart—the distance between the two
speakers should be slightly less than
the distance from them to the
listening point—again, experimentation is required. If the sound is lacking
bass, and the centre image is vague, try placing the speakers closer
together, conversely, if the sound is bass heavy, move the speakers further
apart, and away from the rear walls
•
Twist the two speakers so that they are pointing slightly toward, but not
directly at, the listening position—this should produce a nice sharp stereo
image, but create enough spread for several people to enjoy the
performance
•
Positioning the loudspeakers close to the wall immediately behind them
will increase bass output, but at the expense of clarity and stereo image —
experiment to find out the best compromise for you, but start at around
45cm (18”), and adjust until you are happy with the sound
•
Try to avoid locating the listening position such that your head is too close
to the wall behind you—if this is unavoidable, try to ensure there are some
soft furnishings or heavy curtains between you and the wall.
