rear wall may boost the middle bass frequencies and rob the speaker of some transparency and precision. In general, it is best to avoid corner placement of loudspeakers since the

bass tends to become exaggerated and corners rarely are an optimal placement for image quality.

NEAR WALL POSITIONING

Many people will simply find it undesirable or disruptive to place speakers in "free space", that is well away from the back wall. Vienna Acoustics loudspeakers may be set-up close to a rear wall, though keep in mind that less toe-in, as described below, will probably be needed. When working close to a rear wall, even the tiniest movements will have a relatively important effect on sound quality. Work slowly and methodically, following the instructions below and good sound quality can be achieved.

DISTANCE BETWEEN THE

SPEAKERS AND TOE-IN

Most stereo systems are set-up with their speakers too close together. As a rough guideline, the distance between spea- kers should be about 70 % of the room width as a star-ting point, assuming that your speakers are aiming down the length of the room.

Too close together and they will create "ghost" images, double images that blur clarity and focus. Too far apart and they will begin sounding thin and in extreme cases, will create separate left and right soundstages. Move them inwards and outwards, again in small movements as though you were adjusting the image on a pair of binoculars until a single well- unified image is obtained.

One of the standout features of the Pro-Ject Bach is its meticulous craftsmanship. The turntable is constructed using high-quality materials, resulting in a solid and stable platform that minimizes unwanted vibrations. The plinth is often made of MDF or a similar dense material, which not only enhances durability but also contributes to improved sound quality by dampening resonances that could interfere with audio playback.

In terms of technology, the Pro-Ject Bach employs a precision belt drive system. This method reduces motor noise and vibration that can adversely affect sound quality. The low-noise DC motor is electronically controlled for optimal speed stability, ensuring that your records play at the correct pitch every time. Users can switch between 33 and 45 RPM speeds with ease, catering to a wide array of vinyl collections.

The tonearm design on the Pro-Ject Bach is another highlight. It features an aluminum tonearm that is both lightweight and rigid, promoting better tracking of the grooves. The tonearm's design minimizes friction, which can lead to a more accurate reproduction of the music. Additionally, the turntable typically comes equipped with a high-quality cartridge, often a moving magnet type, which is ideal for balancing performance and affordability.

Aesthetically, the Pro-Ject Bach shines with its sleek lines and elegant finishes. Available in various colors, it can seamlessly integrate into any home decor. Whether set up in a dedicated listening room or as part of a living space, it adds a touch of sophistication.
