SPEAKER POSITIONING
REAR WALL
The rear wall does not need to be symmetrical like the side walls but some additional acoustic treatment
will be able to diffract the energy of the sound wave which is important to get good results.
A traditional library with books and records is a very good “no cost” solution.
OPPOSITE WALL
The wall opposite of the stereo system is not that critical. If it is too close to the listening point itself it
would be better covering it with some absorbing material or with a thick curtain.
WINDOWS AND DOORS
They always vibrate. It would be better to not have them situated in the room’s corners or in the middle of the side
walls. Treating them with absorbing material could be good but they also must be well closed not waving. Having a
door behind the listening point could work fine once opened.
Curtains in front of the windows should be light to avoid stopping too much energy, except for the optional ones
behind the listening point.
FURNITURE
Ideally, avoid using big furniture with glass/many doors. Open shelf furniture is the best.
If possible, avoid placing the table in between the speakers and the listening point because tables tend to reflect
heavily the high and mid-frequencies.
AUDIO RACKS
Though the best position of audio racks usually is not in the middle of the speakers, some special racks
such like the Gold Note Galileo can beπlaced there because its special all curved shape helps diffracting
the sound waves very well. If you are using standard racks placed in the middle of the speakers, it is
preferable to have rather small ones which enhance a better sound focus.
SUBWOOFER
A general thinking believes the subwoofer does not have any direct emission of sound so the position is not
important. In fact, the energy of the waves generated by the subwoofer creates a sound stage which follows rules
similar to the full range speakers therefore the same rules should be applied to it as well.
