individually designed and furnished. The following advices are just guidelines that ease proper

Positioning near walls
When speakers are installed near walls sound quality is physically affected. Every customary
subwoofer behaves as a punctual sonic source, with sonic waves spherical radiated without any
constructional measures. Back wall reflections are unavoidable.
The subwoofers BASIS 11K, BASIS 13K and BASIS 14K however utilize cardioid radiation characteristics
with rearward attenuation greater than 10 dB. Because of this structural measurement installation
near walls is considerably less critical. For optimum listening experience a minimum distance of
20 cm (7.9″) to walls and furniture should be ensured. Avoid corner installations because unwanted
bass accentuation could arise.
