Defining the Soundstage | Genesis Advanced Technologies G6.1c

Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space requirements. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the left and right speaker up to about 15 to 20 degrees (toe-in) towards your listening position until you have a properly defined center image. If the speakers are too far apart, the mid-bass will de-couple and you will lose the side image If they are too close together you will have too small a center stage.

When properly set up, very little sound should appear to come directly from the speaker. Instead, the sound stage should extend far beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they should have tremendous front to back depth. When the recording is close-miked (when the instrument or performer is very close to the recording microphone), the music may appear to come directly from the loudspeaker. This is normal. Typically, however, the sound should appear to be detached from the loudspeakers.

A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall. Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the soundspace will increase and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.

3.6 Defining the Soundstage

A common problem we find with many set-ups is a tendency to separate the speakers too far from each other. This gives an unnaturally wide soundstage between the two speakers, and creates problems beyond the unnatural width of the center stage. The key problem is a lack of soundstage information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers.

If you find that the sound is not spacious enough, or you are not getting enough front to back depth, pull the speakers away from the front wall. This is typically preferable to separating the speakers too far, and will almost always give you better depth and soundstage information. A word of caution though: If you move the speakers too far from the front wall you may lose the focus of the image.

In order to achieve what the speaker is capable of, we suggest you focus your efforts on a proper balance of soundstage elements that includes information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers, front to back depth well behind the speaker, excellent focus of instruments and voices, with proper vertical information and mid bass fill.
