OSITION
The location of your listening position is as important as the careful setup
placement of your speakers in your room. The listening position should ideally
be no more than 1.1 to 1.25 times the distance between the left and right channel
tweeters on each speaker. Therefore, in a long rectangular room of 12ʼ x 18ʼ, if the
speaker tweeters are going to be 9ʼ apart, you should be sitting 9ʼ11ʼʼ to 11ʼ3ʼʼ from
the speaker. This would be about halfway down the long axis of the room. Experi-
ment carefully for best low frequency response.
Some people place the speakers on one end and sit at the other end of the room.
Needless to say, this will not yield the finest sound. Carefully consider your listening
position for optimal performance. Our experience has shown that any listening po-
sition which places your head closer than 14” to a room boundary will diminish the
sonic results of your listening.

RIENTATION
Speaker placement and orientation are two of the most important consider-
ations in obtaining superior sound. The first thing you need to do is minimize the
influence of the side walls on the sound of your system. Speakers placed too close
to the side walls will suffer from a strong primary reflection. This can cause out-
of-phase cancellations, or comb filtering, which will cancel some frequencies and
change the tonal balance of the music. A good place to start is with the speakers
about 18” from each wall and, if you need to move them relative to the side wall,
move them away from the wall, not closer.

Decide where you want your listening position to be. Please remember that
your WATCH System can fill most rooms with beautiful sound. However, for the
PDC advantage, we want to ensure that you get all the benefits possible with the
group delay adjustment features that are built into this design. Listening positions
that are to close to a boundary will deteriorate the overall system performance.
