Stereo Placement

For two channel music listening, there are two speakers—one left and one right. Where a speaker is placed will influence the way it sounds. Sound consists of waves, and they can be reflected, absorbed and diffracted. You can have no bass at all or incredible booming bass depending on your speaker placement. Your room acoustics will play a large role in set-up and some experimentation is necessary to get the best results.

For optimal soundstaging in a stereo set-up, the distance between the speakers and listening position is important. Generally, the goal is to reduce or eliminate the number of surfaces that can interfere with the sound before it reaches the listener. Follow these simple guidelines for the best results:

·Place your speakers on stands 28”-30” off the floor.

·Set the speakers 6-12 feet apart and 1-3 feet from the wall facing the listening position.

·Create a triangle consisting of the left & right speakers and the listener. The distance between the speakers should be less than or equal to the distance from the listener to the speaker and a 45 degree angle should be created. (See illustration)

·For best results, the listening position should be at least 1- 3 feet from the back wall.

·Set the speakers so they are toed- in to face the sweet spot in the listening room.

·Experiment with variations until you achieve the sound you desire.
