2.2Imaging and Soundstage

One great advantage of a true line-source is that good imaging and soundstage is a given. However, it is possible to fine-tune the system for ultimate enjoyment.

If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP with good soundstaging information, the performer should appear to come from behind the loudspeakers and be at the appropriate height for a standing person.

If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume the artist will appear too big, and the opposite is true for too little volume.

If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, place the woofer towers closer together or closer to the midrange/ tweeter wings and re-listen. Repeat this process till you have it right. Having the woofer towers inside of the midrange/tweeter wings is rarely the correct solution. If the image is still too large, try moving the midrange/tweeter wings closer together.

If the voice is too low in height, turn the Midrange Control to the next higher position and the image of the voice will move upward slightly.

If you have the speakers only 20% away from the front wall, and you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the speaker enough), pull the midrange tweeter panels away from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough away, you may not have enough front to back depth. If you get the speakers much beyond 1/3 of the way into the room (or 27 ft), it is unlikely that pulling them further away will have any further effect.

Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space requirements. If the speakers are too far apart you will lose the side image and if they are too close together you will have too small a center stage. We recommend you begin with the midrange/tweeter wings six to eight feet apart as measured from tweeter to tweeter. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the midrange panels about 5 to 10 degrees towards your seating position until you have a properly defined center image.
