Setup
Our website contains comprehensive notes for
correct setup.
General requirements
CAUTION
–
Place the speakers in such a way that they
cannot be knocked over inadvertently and
make sure that the cables do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free
from dust.
• Select a location away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• Make sure that the speakers are firmly positioned
to prevent vibrations.
The correct arrangement
To exploit the full sound potential:
• If possible, position the speakers in the room so
that they are standing free. The distance to the
walls should amount to 0.3 to 1 meter depending
on your needs and possibilities. If you have the
choice, place the speakers up against the long
side of the room wall to minimise the influence of
reflections.
• Set up the speakers so that the listening position
and the two speakers form an equilateral or at least
isosceles triangle.
• When you set up the speakers, make sure that
there are at least 2 m of distance between the
speakers and the listener.
• Turn the two speakers slightly towards the listening
position (approx. 10 degrees). The side panel of the
speaker can be used as a guide: if it is located 90
degrees to the wall behind it, the angle is correct.
These notes are a recommendation. Depending on
the room properties and listening situation, it may be
worthwhile experimenting with the speaker arrange-
ment.
The speaker performance will of course benefit from
the quality level of the components connected and
the accessories used.
