“Without music
life would be a
mistake..”
Friedrich
Wilhelm
Nietzsche
Placement of your loudspeakers will greatly affect their performance.
The following guidelines should be considered:
• Placing the loudspeakers at least 6-8 feet (1.8-2.5m) apart will provide the
best stereo sound and image.
• The shape of the room will affect the bass performance, especially when
loudspeakers are placed in the corner of the room.
• Positioning the tweeters so that they play at the listeners ear level provides
for optimum playback.
• Keeping the loudspeaker wire away from AC outlets will reduce interference.
The shape of the listening room and the furnishings will change the way your
system sounds. The bass frequencies will generally be affected by the positioning
and treatment of the room. There will be more perceived bass when a speaker is
moved closer to a wall boundry. In general, however, loudspeakers should be kept
away from side walls as much as possible, as these surfaces can adversely affect the
stereo imaging experienced at the listening position. Positioning the loudspeakers at
least 12-15” away from the side walls will generally provide the best performance.
