The distance from the loudspeakers to the listening area should be similar to, or slightly more than, their distance
apart. The closer the listening area is to the loudspeakers, the closer the speakers can be to each other. Paying
attention to the stereo image will help dictate optimum speaker positioning.
It is not necessary to angle the speakers inward towards the listening position, but you may find that doing so
results in a tighter stereo image focus at the central listening position.
Focus Speaker Positioning – Room Effects
Every loudspeaker radiates sound energy not only forward but also to the side and, particularly at lower
frequencies, to the rear. As a result, reflections from the room boundaries occur that interfere with the speaker’s
forward radiation. When loudspeakers are positioned too close to room boundaries, their performance is affected.
Even with your speakers placed away from room boundaries, the material and acoustic character of the
boundaries will still have an effect on the sound. Try to ensure that immediate surroundings of each speaker have
similar acoustic qualities. Different acoustic qualities would be heavy curtains and bare walls, for example.
The sound of any speaker will also be influenced by the furniture and other large objects within the listening room,
and the material of its construction and wall covering. For example, a large room with little furniture and hard wall
surfaces will result in a bright, diffuse sound, while a room with carpet, curtains and soft furnishings will result in a
more focussed and less lively sound.
Dynaudio speakers are designed to perform at their best when positioned as far from any
walls as possible.
Ideally, try to aim for a minimum distance of 50 cm (18 inches) from each speaker to any wall.
