Placement
The location of your new Axiom LFR1100 speakers will significantly affect the sound quality you
experience in your particular room so take care to position them correctly. Since the LFR1100 is an
omnidirectional speaker with active drivers located in both the front and rear of the cabinet you will want
to keep some space all around your LFR1100s. Around twelve inches (300mm) would be considered
the neutral position. If you need to place them closer to or further from the wall or corner than this your
DSP box does have a switch on the rear panel labeled “Boundary Compensation”. Around 8” (200mm)
from the wall would be “Near 1” and 6” (150mm) or closer would be “Near 2”. If you are more than 24”
(600mm) from the wall “Far 1” should be used and more than 48” (1200mm) would be “Far 2”. The
“Boundary Compensation” switch can also be used to adjust for highly reflective or highly damped
rooms. A highly reflective room may be more suited to the switch being in one of the “Near” positions
and a highly damped room one of the “Far” positions. For rooms with asymmetrical layouts, such as
having an opening or doorway behind one speaker, having a separate DSP for the left and right channel
allows use to use a different Boundary Compensation position for each channel in order to balance out
the sound. Ultimately it is best to try various positions in your room and go with what you feel delivers the
best performance.
For a wide and spacious stereo or home theater soundstage, separate the front left and right speakers
by 6 feet or more, up to 12 feet apart, or by at least half the distance you sit from the speakers, e.g. if
you sit 15 feet away from the speakers, separate them by at least 8 feet if possible. You can experiment
with slightly angling the speakers in toward the listening area or having them face straight out into the
room. Each room is different, and toeing in the speakers toward your seating may improve the stereo
soundstage. LFR1100s have the unique ability of removing the “sweet-spot”; a large 3-D soundstage
can be enjoyed from many seating positions.

Council in Ottawa, Canada. Since that time we have built one of the finest acoustical laboratories in the
world at our facility in Dwight, Canada where we continue this research allowing Axiom to provide the
world’s most realistic-sounding loudspeakers.
