EUTRALITY
The zone of neutrality is the speaker location where your speakers sound
most natural and interact the least with the room. We realize that the location of
your on wall speakers is not very flexible. Nevertheless, careful selection of the
mounting location will improve the performance of the speakers. To find the zone of
neutrality do as follows:

OSITION
Decide where you want your listening position to be. Please remember that
your on wall speaker 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.
1. Stand on a chair against the wall, in the general location where you would
like to place the speakers. Speaking in a moderately loud voice and a con-
stant volume, project your voice out into the room.
2. As you move down the wall, (you will need to have another listener
seated in the listening position to aid you in the evaluation) listen to how the
voice “frees up” from the added bass energy imparted by the ceiling bound-
ary.
3. When you hear the voice “free up” from this artifact, place a piece of tape
on the wall to mark this location.
4. Repeat the procedure coming off of the side walls. Again, listening for
your voice to lose the added bass energy from the wall behind you, and con-
tinuing until there is an obvious interaction with the opposite wall in front of
you. Do each side or speaker location individually. What you should have
at the end of this procedure are two rectangles on the wall (usually near the
corners), which is your zone of neutrality for each channel.
Note: The more reflective or “live” sounding the room is, the more difficult it will be
to detect the changes in your voice, thus you may have to repeat this process until
the zones have been determined.
