The tone character produced by speaker systems depends on

such factors as the size and type of room, the method of

installation, etc. Pay attention to the following points when

installing the speaker systems.

• If the bass sound is overemphasized when the speaker systems

are installed directly on the floor, set them on concrete blocks or

other hard stands.

• Note that howling may be produced if the speaker systems are

placed on the same stand or shelf as a record player.

• If there are walls or glass doors behind or in front of the speaker

systems, use heavy curtains, etc., to prevent resonance and

reflection.
