.
When positioning the speakers in your room, if possible, it is
desirable to allow for “free” space around the speakers so as to assist in
minimizing sound reflections from walls, furniture etc. This will help in
achieving correct tonality, realistic imaging, focus and dynamics. The
recommended minimum distance between the speaker and the near-
est reflection point is 1.2 m (3.6 ft).
A “smooth” back wall will minimize imaging distortions. The
distance between the back wall and the speaker should not be less
than 0.6 m (1.8 ft), the distance from the tweeter to the back and side
walls must not be too similar.
Listening point: the distance between your ears and the floor
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 sym-
metrical for achieving a balanced sound stage – this is very important
in a narrow room. Expect the distance between the speakers to be
approximately 2.5 - 5 m, depending on the size of the room and its
reverberation characteristics.
The recommended speaker’s direction is approximately 7°,
off axis, towards the listening position.
4.2. Wiring
When connecting the speaker to the amplifier please make
sure that the amplifier is in an off position.
Connect the speaker cable to the pole terminal on the back of
the speaker: speaker terminal „+“ with the amplifier terminal „+“ and
„–“ with „–“.
