Location of Front Channel Speakers
Three loudspeakers are to be placed across in the
front of the listening room for the home theater
system. The width of the stereo image is
determined by the distance between the left and
right speakers. The image will be too narrow if the
speakers are placed too close together and,
conversely, if placed too far apart, the blend will
suffer creating a void in the middle section.
Your speakers should create a continuous "virtual
image" when properly placed from left to right. As a
result an illusion of sound outside, in front of, and
behind the speaker systems will be created.
Starke Sound recommends a 45 degree to 60
degree angular separation when viewed from
above. The distance between the speakers is 75% of
the distance from the speakers to the listener at the
minimum 45° separation. At the maximum 60°
separation the distance between the speakers is
equal to the distance from the speakers to the
listener.
In order to create a seamless sound image across the front of the speakers one must
carefully consider location and placement.
Optimally, there should an equal distance from the left, right, and center channel
speakers to the listener location.
The height of the midrange/tweeter module of the front channel speakers should be
installed as close as possible to the height of a seated listener's ears. The front channel
tweeters should be located within two vertical feet of that height.

Halo Series
Hi-end performance for custom installations
The concept behind the STARKE Halo series models is simple — loudspeakers that deliver
best performance we can reach with no compromises.These models are housed in
"simple" cabinets and are mechanically and acoustically designed for easy integration into
built-in installations.
In addition, the Halo Series models incorporate design elements that adapt to the
unpredictable acoustical characteristics of custom installations. In some custom
installations, for example, the location of the bass drivers can cause their sound to
interact
with the physical surroundings and produce a mid-bass response error. This results in a
"heavy" or "chesty" quality that is particularly noticeable in vocals. The STARKE Halo IC-H7
and IW-H7 models have Boundary Compensation switches to help control this problem.
Design elements such as this and many others ensure that the Halo Series models
provide
the discerning listener with better experience that provided by a traditional loudspeaker.
IC-H7
Flagship of the Halo series
As the flagship of the Halo series,IC-H7 can be In-Room,In wall or even Behind Screen
installed.We've made every effort to integrate the most advanced technologies into its
design which our team has spent decades refining.IC-H7 use Golden Ring midrange
drivers,tweeters,and special designed woofers for super power bass.we've designed the
IC-H7 to be perfect in each aspects, without compromise.There is many people who
require superior results for home theater and music,It's our hope that the IC-H7 will
satisfy these people.
