Loudspeaker Positioning (cont.)

For the best stereo imaging setups, position the speakers and the listening area at approximately the corners of an equilateral triangle. The larger the triangle, the bigger the soundstage but a less clearly defined center image. The room will also play an increasing role in the sound. The smaller the triangle, the more immediate the presentation but with a smaller soundstage. We encourage you to experiment within the following guidelines.

-The speakers should be distanced away from the rear wall at least 6” to allow for proper operation of the bass port, however for the best presentation in your room the distance between the loudspeaker and the rear wall should be 1/3rd the length of the room. If this is not practical try 1/5th the distance. If the speaker needs to be placed close to the rear wall, it should be treated with a sound absorbing material.

-The listening position should be 2/3rds of the way into the room.

-The speaker position relative to the room’s side walls should not be within 33 percent of the distance to the back wall in order to smooth room nodes. For an example if the speaker is 4ft from the back wall it should be no more then 3ft or greater then 5.3ft from the side wall.

-It is also recommended to toe in the left and right speakers so that the ribbon axis is aimed at a point slightly behind the center of the listening area.
