Loudspeaker Positioning

The HT805 Series (except the subwoofer) has a very defined vertical dispersion, which helps prevent interaction with the floor and ceiling and extends the nearfield listening area. It is important to set the speakers so the ribbon is approximately at the ear level of the listener(s). The speaker may also be tilted for proper aiming relative to the height that the speaker is placed.

The HT805S model should be used with a well damped speaker stand or placed on a braced shelf to achieve the correct height. The best speaker stands are usually hollow steel that are filled with either sand or lead shot. The cabinet also has a provision for a third party wall mount bracket such as the MultiMount TM MM-022 from Allen Products. The speaker should maintain at least a 6” clearance from the rear wall for proper operation of the bass port.

The HT805C model comes with a tray for vertical ribbon alignment when it is placed below ear level (such as underneath a plasma screen). The HT805C can be moved front to back on this tray to adjust the vertical angle of the cabinet. The cabinet also has a provision for a third party wall mount bracket such as the MultiMount TM MM-022 from Allen Products. The HT805C may also be used in the upright position with a speaker stand. In this configuration the ribbon should be rotated 90 degrees.

The HT805T versions are built to the correct height of a typical listening position. They should be placed on the floor and not be angled vertically. They are provided with adjustable feet for stability and leveling on carpet or hard surfaces.

The HT805W subwoofer(s) should be placed near or between the front line of speakers. Placing it in a corner will produce more bass but the sound may loose clarity. We recommend spending some time experimenting with the best location using the phase and volume level on the subwoofer to determine the best combination for your particular room and preferences. A shortcut to accomplish this is to temporary place the subwoofer at your primary listening location. Listen at multiple areas in your room where you could place the subwoofer. Listen to music for clarity and balance in the bass tones or listen to the noise source in your Home Theater receiver - processor for smoothness and maximum extension. If you find a spot that you like, move the subwoofer to that spot and the sound will be matched at your primary listening location. This also can be done when multiple subwoofers are used in larger rooms. Try to pick spots that are asymmetrical to the room dimensions as it will help overcome some effects of low frequency room resonances.
