PLACING STEREO LOUDSPEAKERS

PLACING STEREO LOUDSPEAKERS

If the speakers are too closely spaced, as in a single enclosure that houses two speakers only a few feet apart, the time and intensity difference is so small that spatial quality is severely limited. Except in a very small room, eight feet is considered minimum spacing between speakers for good stereo.

In a two-channel system, good stereo listening begins a distance in front of the speakers equal to their separation, and continues for twice this distance. For example, if the speakers are placed 8 feet apart, the best listening area extends from 8 to 16 feet in front of the speakers.
