SPEAKER PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING
THE MAGICO S7 LOUDSPEAKERS ARE PRECISION INSTRUMENTS FOR MUSIC
REPRODUCTION. AS SUCH, PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN SETTING UP
THESE SPEAKERS WILL YIELD THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE
PARTICULAR ROOM. FOLLOWING THESE SET-UP GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE THE
SPEAKERS ARE PROPERLY POSITIONED TO DELIVER THE OPTIMUM LISTENING
EXPERIENCE. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS A TAPE MEASURE, A PEN, A CALCULATOR, A BALL
OF STRING, A COUPLE OF DEMO CDS, AND SOME PATIENCE.
PLACEMENT—S7S IN RELATION TO BACK AND SIDE WALLS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: LOOK FOR OBVIOUS IMPEDIMENTS INCLUDING ANYTHING THAT
COULD IMPEDE OR DIMINISH THE SOUND—E.G., OTHER SPEAKERS, AMPLIFIERS,
EQUIPMENT RACKS, ANYTHING ON THE WALL THAT COULD CAUSE A REFLECTION, A
SEVERE MISMATCH IN QUALITY AMONG INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS, AND UNNECESSARY
OR POORLY RUN SPEAKER/INTERCONNECT CABLES.
BASS—DISTANCE FROM REAR WALL
THE INITIAL PLACEMENT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 20 INCHES (1/2 M) FROM THE
BACK OF THE LOUDSPEAKER TO THE BACK WALL. SINCE WE HAVE SHORT AUDITORY
MEMORY, THE SELECTED DEMO MUSIC CUT SHOULD BE BRIEF—30 SECONDS – 1
MINUTE MAX. IT SHOULD BE A WELL RECORDED JAZZ CUT WITH GOOD BASS GUITAR OR
PERCUSSION. WHAT WE ARE LISTENING FOR AT THIS TIME IS THE DEFINITION OF THE
BASS AND THE RIGHT SENSE OF PROPORTION.
NEXT, MOVE THE SPEAKER 6 – 8 INCHES (15 – 20 CM) FORWARD AND REPEAT THE
LISTENING PROCESS. REPEAT THIS PROCESS, MOVING THE LOUDSPEAKER FORWARD IN 6
– 8 INCH (15-20 CM) INCREMENTS. WHEN YOU REACH THE POINT FROM WHICH
MOVING THE SPEAKER FORWARD SOUNDS WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS LISTENING
POINT, MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKER BACK TO THIS POSITION AND MARK THIS DISTANCE
FROM THE REAR WALL.
MIDRANGE—PLACEMENT IN RELATION TO SIDE WALLS FOR LATERAL PLACEMENT
BEGIN BY DIVIDING THE ROOM WIDTH BY 14. INITIAL PLACEMENT OF THE
LOUDSPEAKERS WILL BE AT 3 AND 11. THE DISTANCE FROM THE LOUDSPEAKER TO THE
EARS HAS TO BE PRECISELY EQUAL. THIS MEASUREMENT IS CRITICAL. THE MUSIC FOR
THIS PROCESS SHOULD BE A FEMALE VOICE AND PIANO. WE ARE LISTENING FOR THE
