7. ROOM AND FURNITURE INFLUENCE
The sound quality of any loudspeaker is influenced by the furniture, wall materials and other objects in the listening room. For example, large rooms without much furniture and many clean, hard wall surfaces can give a bright and diffuse sound with diverse echoing frequencies. A room with thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will give a slightly warmer, darker and less lively sound.
It is important to take into account such room factors when critiquing the results during experimentation with positioning the loudspeakers, and to understand the potential effects of the room on the loud- speakers’ performance.
8. MISCELLANEOUS CONCERNS
To maintain the aesthetic quality of the Confidence loudspeakers for the long term, placing such in very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided. Direct sunlight or excessive bright- ness can affect the colour of any natural wood veneer, but will not affect the quality of the cabinet.
A cloth grille is included and can be placed on the cabinet to help protect the drivers from dust and any other influences. The grille is acoustically optimized, but the highest sound quality levels will be attained without any grille covers in place during listening.
