Loudspeaker placement in a room can greatly affect performance. The XRT29 Loudspeaker is designed for both Music and Home Theater Systems. The optimal method for selecting speaker locations includes the use of a real time spectrum analyzer operated by an experienced system installer. An uncompromising installation would take into consideration the floor, wall and ceiling coverings, the type and placement of furniture and can even include the architectural design of the room and its construction materials. In those instances where placement in the room is fixed, an environmental equalizer may be needed to restore proper musical balance. Experiment with various Loudspeaker positions to determine the best sounding location.

Locating Loudspeakers for use in Home Theater

In a Home Theater application, the placement of Left and Right Front Loudspeakers can be limited by such considerations

as the size and location of the

video monitor. The locating suggestions in

the “for use in a Music System” section below

can still be helpful as a starting place. Refer to figure 13.

Locating Loudspeakers for use in a Music System When used in a Music System the distance between the Loudspeakers and the listener to the Loudspeakers should form an

isosceles triangle. If the speakers are too far apart relative

to the listener, some imaging

can be lost. Refer to figure 14.
