Stereo (2-Channel) Placement
• Place the | left and right speakers anywhere from 6 feet to | 10 feet | apart, with |
the main | listening position as close to midway between the | speakers | as possible. |
• The speakers should be at least 2 feet away from the side walls.
•The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet away from the speakers.
•In most cases pivoting the tweeter of each speaker directly towards the main listening position will help maximize the stereo soundstage.
Use the left and right speaker placement in Figure 1 as a guide.
