The WATCH Dog will perform very well in any location in the room. In
general, the closer you place theWATCH Dog to a wall or corner, the greater the
augmentation of the bass. However, the increase in bass comes at a cost of per-
ceived speed, dynamics, and bass clarity. We recommend that you experiment with
the placement of theWATCH Dog to find a balance of the above mentioned items.

Ideally, the speakers should not be positioned too far from the listener if
maximum resolution of low level detail is required (near-field monitoring). If pos-
sible, the speakers should be positioned out into the room, slightly asymmetrically
away from side and rear walls. The speakers should be toed-in toward the listener,
It is preferable that the listener, at his seated position, can barely see the surface of
the inner side-panel of the left and right speakers as he faces the speaker. It is rec-
ommended that a distance of 2-3 feet, and possibly more, be maintained between
the left and right speakers and the rear walls. A distance of at least 1 1/2 feet
should be maintained between the front panel of the left and right speakers and
reflective side walls. Use of sound absorbent materials may reduce the space
requirement somewhat. Experiment for each room.
