One of the most important aspects of any loudspeaker installation is the positioning of the loudspeakers in the listening room. The art of loudspeaker positioning is to find the best compromise between sonic performance and domestic constraints in order to achieve optimum listening conditions. It may be necessary to slightly rearrange the layout of the furniture in your room. See below for general rules on setting up loudspeakers in a room.

As a rule, the loudspeakers should be positioned about 2 metres apart and symmetrical in relation to the central listening position. Both speakers should be in similar acoustic environment, for example, only one speaker should not be in an alcove. Avoid placing speakers in the room corners as this will result in a ‘boomy’ sound. The position of the loudspeakers relative to the rear wall and the amount of ‘toe-in’ are covered later as these are matters for fine tuning once the system is working. A rear space of around 200mm and about 15 degrees of ‘toe- in’ are good starting points.

NOTE

Best results are achieved when:

a = A/3, A/5, A/7, A/9, … b = B/5, B/7, B/9, …

Speakers are symmetrical about the listening position.

Speakers are back up against a solid wall.

There is a small (10 – 20 deg. ‘Toe-in’ depending on room and distance from loudspeakers.

‘Toe-in’ is adjusted and fine tuned for best stereo image width, depth and focus.
