1. Stand against the wall BEHIND the location where you intend to position your
MAXXs. Speaking in a moderately loud voice and at a constant volume, project
your voice out into the room. Your voice will have an overly heavy, “chesty” quali-
ty because of your proximity to the rear wall.
2. While speaking, slowly move out into the room, progressing in a direction parallel
to the sidewall. It is helpful to have another listener seated in the listening posi-
tion to assist you during this process. Listen to how your voice “frees up” from the
added bass energy imparted by the rear wall boundary. Also notice that your voice
is quite spatially diffuse (to your assistant, your voice will sound spatially large and
difficult to localize) as you begin to ease away from the rear wall.
3. At some point during your progression forward into the room, you will observe a
sonic transition in your voice; it will sound more tonally correct and less spatially
diffuse (your assistant can now precisely localize the exact origin of your voice).
When you hear this transition, you have entered the inner edge of the Zone of
Neutrality. Place a piece of tape on the floor to mark this location. Although it
will vary from room to room, the zone in most rooms begins between two and a
half to three feet from the rear wall.
4. Continue to walk slowly away from the rear wall. After some distance, usually one
to two feet past the first piece of tape, you will begin to hear your voice lose focus
and appear to reflect (echo) in front of you. This is caused by the return of the
room’s boundary contribution; your voice is now interacting with the opposite
wall. At the point where you begin to hear the reflected sound of your voice, you
have reached the inner edge of the Zone of Neutrality. Place a piece of tape on the
floor and mark this location. The distance between the “inner” and “outer” edge
tape marks is usually between eight inches (for small, interactive rooms) and three
feet (for large, more neutral rooms).
5. Now position yourself against the side wall perpendicular to the intended speaker
location. Stand between the two tape marks. Using the same procedure as above,
