Near Wall Positioning

rear wall may boost the middle bass frequencies and rob the speaker of some transparency and precision. In general, it is best to avoid corner placement of loudspeakers since the

bass tends to become exaggerated and corners rarely are an optimal placement for image quality.

Many people will simply find it undesirable or disruptive to place speakers in "free space", that is well away from the back wall. Vienna Acoustics loudspeakers may be set-up close to a rear wall, though keep in mind that less toe-in, as described below, will probably be needed. When working close to a rear wall, even the tiniest movements will have a relatively important effect on sound quality. Work slowly and methodically, following the instructions below and good sound quality can be achieved.

DISTANCE BETWEEN THE

SPEAKERS AND TOE-IN

Most stereo systems are set-up with their speakers too close together. As a rough guideline, the distance between spea- kers should be about 70 % of the room width as a star-ting point, assuming that your speakers are aiming down the length of the room.

Too close together and they will create "ghost" images, double images that blur clarity and focus. Too far apart and they will begin sounding thin and in extreme cases, will create separate left and right soundstages. Move them inwards and outwards, again in small movements as though you were adjusting the image on a pair of binoculars until a single well- unified image is obtained.
