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, it is unlikely that pulling them further away is reasonable.

Too much absorption on the wall behind the speakers will also result in less depth in the soundstage. The G2 requires a relatively “live” front wall.

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 the image density in the middle of the soundstage will be too diffuse. If the speakers are too close together you will have too small a center stage, and you may find that the edges of the soundstage collapse inwards.

We recommend you begin with six to seven feet apart as measured from tweeter to tweeter. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the midrange panels from 1 to 3 degrees inwards towards your seating position until you have a properly defined center image.

When properly set up very little sound should appear to come directly from the speaker, instead, the sound stage should extend far beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they should have tremendous front to back depth. When the recording is close miked (when the instrument or performer is very close to the recording microphone) the music may appear to come directly from the loudspeaker. This is normal. Typically, however, the sound should appear to be detached from the loudspeakers.

A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the front wall and treatment (or lack of) of the front wall. Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the soundstage will increase, and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.

We suggested in the beginning of this manual to set the phase to zero degrees when the Servo-Bass Interconnects are used. If a balanced pre-amp level input is used, the phase angle may be
