When positioning the speakers in your room, it is advised to
allow enough ”free” space around the speakers to minimize sound
reflections from walls, furniture, etc. This will contribute to achieving
correct tonality, realistic imaging, focus, and dynamics. The
recommended minimum distance between the speaker and the
nearest reflection point is 1.2 m (3.6 ft). The distance between the back
wall and the speaker should be no less than 0.6 m (1.8 ft). The distance
of the tweeter to the back and side walls should not be the same.
Listening point: the distance between the floor and your ears
should be approx. 1 m (3 ft), while the distance between the listener
and the speakers should be similar to the distance between the two
speakers.
The positioning of the speakers in the room must be
symmetrical for achieving a balanced sound stage. This is particularly
important in a narrow space. The distance between the speakers
should be approx. 2.5 – 4 m (8.2 – 13 ft), depending on the size of the
room and its reverberation characteristics. The recommended
speaker’s direction is approx. 7°, off-axis, towards the listening position
(depending on the room acoustics).
Please contact your dealer for consultation on how to
improve your room acoustics.
