GamuT RS3 - Manual (Page 6)

Setting up: Guide Lines
Three basic elemets must be optimized to get the
maximum performance from your
El Superiores
:
1. Speaker Positioning
2. Tilting (the angle relative to vertical) and Toe (the
angle relative to pointing straight forward)
3. The Listening position
• Before Finding these positions and making
adjustments, it must be understood that any
speaker performance will be negatively influenced
when not positioned correctly. Please follow the
instructions to obtain the best possible
performance.
• Load effects caused by the room dimensions are
compensated in the speaker design, meaning that
the
El Superiores
are optimized to perform their
best in rooms of normal dimensions. A very small
room, extremely large rooms or open spaces will
give less than optimum performance.
• The Speaker Positioning and the Listening
position are the first things to find. These postions
are easily explained as the positions in the room
where the least amount of negative room
influence is observed.
• With no diffusion or damping of the reflections, a
minimum distance to walls is recommended to be
1 meter (approximately 3’4”). With diffusion or
damping of reflections a position closer to walls
can be acceptable. More importantly, larger
distances to walls will improve the overall
performance.
• The minimum Listening distance is recommended
to 2.0m for the S3 & S5, 2,5m for the S7 and 3.0m
for the S8 & S9. The minimum spacing between
the speakers we recommend to be 2.0m for the
S3 & S5 & 2,5m for the S7, S8 & S9.
