PLACING THE LOUDSPEAKER FOR THE BEST SOUND QUALITY (CONTINUED)

Make sure furniture or other objects will not block or reflect sound from the loudspeaker. You should have a direct line of sight with the front of the loudspeaker.

Figure 5. Illustration depicts the optimum placement zone for a listening distance of 10 feet.

You can control the loudspeaker’s bass output by placement. This is called the boundary effect. You will get more bass response by mounting the OS loudspeaker directly to a wall or other flat surface (any boundary close to the loudspeaker will reinforce the bass frequencies). You can increase the bass output even more by mounting the OS loudspeaker in a corner or under an eave (see Figure 6 on the next page). This type of placement gives the loudspeaker two boundaries, both reinforcing the bass sounds. Of course, if you wish to hear less bass, try moving the loudspeaker away from the boundary (see Figure 7 on the next page).
