FIDELITY

For best fidelity, there are several factors to keep in mind before you begin actual installation.

In general, the best acoustic performance will result if both speakers face a similar type of surface, are placed in similar positions on the same wall or ceiling, and are mounted to the same type of material with equal cavity volume.

Bass frequencies are emphasized when an in-wall speaker is placed close to a corner. This tends to make male voices sound deeper and may muddy some sounds such as soundtrack dialogue. Avoid placing just one speaker in a corner and another on a long flat wall.

Treble is emphasized when it bounces back from reflec- tive surfaces such as large windows. Conversely, highs tend to be muffled by soft surfaces such as drapes, rugs, upholstered furniture, etc. The best situation is a mix of absorptive and reflective surfaces, which can be achieved by adding throw rugs or insulated drapes to a reflective room.
