mance in your room.
Speaker Orientation
The Duette is designed for maximum phase coherence and pulse replication ac -
curacy when each speaker is aimed directly at the listener or microphone. Thus, your
Duette should be “toed-in.” In other words, the listener, when seated in the listening
position looking forward with his/her head in a rested position, should just barely see
the surface of the inner side of each Duette. Toeing in the speakers provides meaning -
ful improvements in resolution of low-level detail in the midrange as well as apprecia -
ble improvements in sound staging performance.
Summary
In summary, for optimal tonal balance accuracy, resolution of low level detail,
and soundstaging performance, the Duette should be positioned as outlined in this sec -
tion. Ideally, the speakers should not be positioned too far from the listener if maxi -
mum resolution of low-level detail is required. If possible, the speakers should be
positioned out into the room, slightly asymmetrically vis a vis the side and rear walls.
The speakers should be “toed-in” toward the listener, preferably so that the listener, at
his seated position, can barely see the surface of the inner side of the Duette as he/she
faces the speaker. It is recommended that a distance of two to three feet, and possibly
more, be maintained between the Duette and the rear walls and that a distance of at
least two feet be maintained between the front panel of the Duette and reflective side
walls. Depending on the room, judicious use of sound absorbent materials will reduce
the space requirement.
By following the guidelines in this manual, your new Duette loudspeakers can
provide you with a lifetime of pure music reproduction.
