INTRODUCTION

G SERIES
LOUDSPEAKERS	PLACEMENT
OWNER’S	For the best stereo reproduction, the
	two loudspeaker systems should be
	placed an equal distance from your
MANUAL	listening position and separated so that
	the angle between them, at the listen-
	ing position, is between 40 and 60
	degrees (see Fig. 1). For example, if
	your listening position is 8 to 12 feet
	(2.5 to 4 m) from each speaker, the two
	systems should be about 8 feet (2.5 m)
	apart. Placing the loudspeaker in a cor-
	ner or against a wall will result in the
40	strongest (but not necessarily the most
	accurate) bass. If possible, G models
	that are ported on the back should not
	be placed closer than 12 inches (305
	mm) from the wall behind it.
100	For the best stereo imaging, we rec-
	ommend that the systems be placed
	so that the high frequency transduc-
200	ers are positioned approximately at
	ear level of a seated listener. That’s
300	why smaller loudspeakers will benefit
	from placement on stands or book-
	shelves. Every room is different and
	there are different tastes. So don’t
	hesitate to experiment on your own.
