Placement

As a starting point, we suggest you initially position the DP-1’s 3 feet from the back wall and 4 feet from the side wall.

Angling the speakers 10 degrees to the back wall will reflect the generated sound off your back and side walls, which will give you the acoustic impression of a much larger room.

Also remember that a dipole speaker emits virtually no sound from the side. You can take advantage of this trait to cancel reflections from the side wall by varying the toe-in angle.

General tips for setting up speakers

Stereo triangle

You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speakers. This means the distance between the speakers should be the same as the distance from your listening position to both speakers; in other words an equilateral triangle.

Damping

If your room…

a)doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the back and side walls or…

b)has highly reflective surfaces (i.e. glass windows or bare plastered walls) or…

c)still doesn’t sound quite right

…we strongly recommend that you ‘damp’ your room’s critical surfaces. This can be done simply by adding curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on. A damped surface is almost always preferable to a hard reflective surface. Be carefull not to over-dampen your room, this will result in a very ‘dead’ and less dynamic enviroment.

Depending on the placement of the speakers, room size, sound reflecting surfaces, furniture, etc, it is entirely up to you how you fine-adjust the placement, angling and damping. Remember to take your time and use your ears.
