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.
