Wharfedale DIAMOND 8.1 PRO - Manual (Page 9)

Stand Mounting:
Depending on the application stand mounting in (near to) free space is one of the most neutral
positions for monitors. Of course it is not always possible to take advantage of the isoalation
from floor, wall and countertop effects that stands can allow. But combinations of short stand
and console can be used to advantage.
Center Speaker Mounting and Positioning:
Ideally the center speaker is just that; mounted in the center! However, the type and size of
display can seriously effect one’s options for position. The shielding of the Diamond Pro
allows it to be placed close to and either over or under the CRT display. Plasma, projection,
rear projection etc. all offer different advantages and options. The closer one is to the monitor,
the more critical the angles become. At a reasonable distance the imaging and integration of a
speaker is improved when compared to being very close. Experimentation will establish the
best distance and position when based upon a reasonable understanding of the requirements
and standards.
