WHERE SHOULD I PLACE MY RT SERIES SPEAKERS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE?

As there are so many room factors that affect speaker placement, including room layout, listening position, furniture arrange- ment and aesthetic considerations, there are few hard and fast rules for ideal speaker placement. Take a little extra time to experi- ment with speaker placement to find the right balance of sound quality, room integra- tion and looks that best suit you. Do not install leveling feet/carpet spikes until after you have settled on a permanent speaker location.

To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created between them and your favorite viewing or listening posi- tion (Figure 1). If your room arrangement forces you to place the speakers farther apart than you are sitting from them, you may need to angle the speakers towards the middle in order to support a more solid center image.

Moving the speakers closer to the wall will increase bass loudness. Moving the speakers farther away from the wall will decrease bass loudness.

¿CÓMO DEBO COLOCAR MIS BOCINAS DE LA SERIE RT A FIN DE OBTENER EL MEJOR RENDIMIENTO?

Existen muchos factores dentro de una habitación que se deben tomar en cuenta en el momento de la colocación de sus bocinas, tales como el diseño de la habitación, la dis- tribución de los muebles, y las considera- ciones estéticas. Por lo tanto, no hay ninguna regla firme respecto a una colocación ideal. La mejor recomendación es que usted exper- imente un poco hasta que encuentre el mejor equilibrio entre la calidad de sonido, la inte- gración del sistema con su entorno y la apariencia de la habitación. Por lo mismo, se recomienda no instalar las patas/pernos para nivelar la bocina sobre alfombras, sino hasta después de escoger el lugar definitivo para colocar la bocina.

Para lograr la imagen en estéreo más real- ista y un sonido natural, coloque las bocinas de manera que se configure un triángulo equilátero entre las mismas y su punto predilecto de ver o escuchar (Figura 1). Si la conformación de la habitación le obliga a situar las bocinas de manera que la distancia entre las mismas exceda la distancia entre usted y ellas, tal vez necesite orientarlas en ángulo hacia el centro para lograr una ima- gen central más firme.

Mientras más cerca se coloquen las bocinas a la pared, mayor será el impacto de los bajos y asimismo, mientras más lejos se coloquen las bocinas de la pared, menor será el impacto de los bajos.

OÙ PLACER MES ENCEINTES SÉRIE RT POUR LA MEILLEURE PERFORMANCE?

Plusieurs facteurs acoustiques affectent le positionnement des enceintes, dont les dimensions de la pièce, la position d’écoute, l’agencement des meubles et l’esthétique.

Il y a donc peu de règles fermes à suivre. Ex-périmentez. Tentez de trouver le meilleur équilibre entre la qualité du son, l’intégration

àla pièce et l’esthétique. N’installez pas les pieds à picots avant d’avoir choisi l’emplace- ment définitif de vos enceintes.

Pour l’image stéréophonique la plus réaliste et le son le plus fidèle, placez les enceintes de façon à former un triangle équilatéral entre celles-ci et votre position d’écoute et de visionnement préférée (Figure 1). Si la distance entre vos enceintes est plus grande que la distance entre celles-ci et votre posi- tion d’écoute, vous devrez peut-être les ori- enter vers le centre pour assurer une image centrale plus précise.

Placer les enceintes près d’un mur augmente le volume des graves. Les éloigner du mur réduit le volume des graves.

WO SOLLTE ICH MEINE RT SERIE LAUTSPRECHER AUFSTELLEN, DAMIT SIE AM BESTEN KLINGEN?

Da viele verschiedene Raumfaktoren die Plazierung der Lautsprecher beeinflussen können, wie zum Beispiel Zimmerform, Zuhör-Position, Möbel-Stellung und ästhetis- che Anforderungen, so gibt es doch einige bestimmte Regeln für die ideale Plazierung der Lautsprecher. Nehmen Sie sich ein wenig extra Zeit, um mit der Plazierung der Lautsprecher zu experimentieren, bis Sie die ausgewogenen Klangqualität, Raumintegration und das Aussehen erhalten, das Ihnen am bestenzusagt. Installieren Sie die Teppich- spikes / Gummifüße erst, nachdem Sie die endgültige Position des Lautsprechers festgelegt haben.

Um den realistischsten Stereo-Effekt und echtesten Klang zu bekommen, stellen Sie die Lautsprecher so, daß ein Dreieck mit gle- ichen Seiten zwischen ihnen entsteht sowie Ihrem Lieblings-Hörplatz (Bild 1). Falls die Anordnung des Zimmers Sie dazu zwingt, die Lautsprecher weiter auseinander zu stellen, als Sie davon entfernt sind, müssen Sie möglicherweise die Lautsprecher in einem Winkel gegen die Mitte zu aufstellen, damit der Klang solider empfangen wird.

Wenn Sie die Lautsprecher näher an die Wand dahinter stellen, so erhöht das die Lautstärke des Baßes. Wenn Sie die Lautsprecher weiter von der Wand entfernt aufstellen, verringert sich die Baß-Lautstärke.
