Choosing Where To Place The Loudspeakers
Loudspeaker placement within the listening room will have a great impact upon the total performance of TAD Reference One loudspeakers in terms of bass performance, tonal accuracy, and imaging. All rooms are different and so this section is intended as a guide only. Experimentation in your room will yield optimum results.
Begin by placing the rear of the loudspeakers approximately one to two feet in from the front walls and the sides one to two feet in from the side walls of your listening room, as shown in Figure 7. Your listening position should be roughly equal to the distance between the two loudspeakers. Also, turn the loudspeakers inward so each axis points toward the listening position.
Next, connect the audio system as described in CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS on the next page. Then, optimize the loudspeaker placement as described in OPTIMIZING THE SYSTEM on page 16.
WARNING!
Keeping the spikes inserted can cause damage to the bottom of the unit in the event that you move the loudspeaker. Be sure to remove the spikes before moving the loudspeaker to another location.
In order to protect the bottom of the unit from damage when moving the loudspeaker, you should place a thick cloth or mat beneath the system before moving it to a new location.
