2. DISTANCE TO THE LOUDSPEAKERS

Because of the DDC technology, the Confidence loudspeakers will deliver excellent imaging in applications with small as well as wide listening distances. Room interaction will be minimized, though the room’s influence on the sound quality still must be taken into consideration.

The distance to the speakers ultimately depends on the room’s shape, size and your personal listening taste. Please note that when listening to the speakers from a wide distance, the room must allow the speakers to be posi- tioned with a wider distance between them as well. To maintain a balanced sound integration from the driver arrangement, a 2.0 meters distance from the listening position to the loudspeakers is a good starting point during experimentation.

The listening distance to each speaker should be identical.

3. DISTANCE TO BACK AND SIDE WALLS

When loudspeakers are positioned too close to walls, the sound quality can be restricted. Every loudspeaker not only disperses sound

energy directly into the room, but also to the side and even backwards. As a result, time-delayed reflections occur and add to the original music signal.

The Confidence models were developed to be placed free-standing, and therefore they reach their optimum performance when positioned as clear of any walls as possible. To reduce possible influences from the back and side- walls, the distance to these boundaries should ideally not be less than one-half (0.5) meter.

To minimize low frequency reflections, which will be heard as a thickening of the sound, the Confidence models can be adapted to the room’s acoustic character by using foam plugs in the bass reflex port. This will essentially attenuate the room-induced boost in the low frequency range by dampening the deep fre- quencies, yielding a more clear and tight sound and minimized backwave reflections when the loudspeaker is positioned near rear walls.

With the Confidence models, it will be more important to address the issues of the side and rear walls’ influence on the sound, as the DDC technology will minimize any effect of the more difficult to address ceiling and floor boundaries.
