Roksan Audio FR - 5 T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G, Symptom, Likely Cause, Suggested Remedy

At this stage try to analyse the sound objectively by listening to the overall balance and separation between various music instruments and voices, and to the stability of the ‘sonic image’ of your favourite music material or a good test album. After you have been listening for some time, begin to experiment with the positioning of the loudspeakers. Moving the loudspeakers away from the rear wall and more into the room will reduce the prominence of the low frequencies (bass) and improve the focus and the 3-dimensionality of the stereo image. Moving the loudspeakers closer to the rear wall will increase the prominence of the bass at the possible expense of degrading the focus of the stereo image.

Once you have found the position for a satisfactory tonal balance, try altering the angle of ‘toe-in’ of the loudspeakers. This will also affect the focus of the stereo image but it is highly dependent upon the acoustic environment of your room. The FR-5Loudspeakers will begin to ‘disappear’ as you approach the ideal position of the loudspeakers in your room.

For best results keep experimenting. This will increase your understanding of the way the loudspeakers interact with your room and improve the performance of your entire audio system.

NOTE:

A final adjustment and leveling of the speakers/spikes should be carried out after the optimum position/location of the speakers in the room is established.
