Our speakers do not impose special requirements neither in stereo nor in multichannel set-ups.
Nonetheless speaker positioning has influence on listening impression because every room is
individually designed and furnished. The following advices are just guidelines that ease proper
positioning. In addition we offer a measurement service to take advantage of the capabilities of your
listening environment.

Positioning near walls
When speakers are installed near walls sound quality is physically affected. Every customary speaker
behaves as a punctual sonic source in the low frequency range, with sonic waves spherical radiated
without any constructional measures. Back wall reflections are unavoidable.
For optimum listening experience a minimum distance of 50 cm (19.7″) to walls and furniture should
be ensured. Avoid corner installations because unwanted bass accentuation could arise.
