Table 1: Suggested tone control settings for different acoustical environments
flat frequency response in the free field, when
the loudspeaker is located far from all walls and
other acoustically hard boundaries. Always start
adjustment by setting all switches to “OFF”
position. Measure or listen systematically through
the different combinations of settings to find the
best tonal balance.
Mounting considerations
Align the loudspeakers correctly
Always place the loudspeakers so that they are
aimed towards the listening position. Vertical
placement is preferable, as it minimizes acoustical
cancellation problems between the drivers around
the crossover frequency.
Maintain symmetry
Check that the loudspeakers are placed
symmetrically and at an equal distance from the
listening position. If possible, place the system so
that the listening position is on the centerline of
the room but not exactly at the center of the room.
Place the loudspeakers are at an equal distance
from the centerline and also at an equal distance
from the listening position.
Minimize reflections
Acoustic reflections from objects close to the
loudspeakers like desks, cabinets, computer
monitors etc. can cause unwanted blurring of the
sound image and also cause frequency response
problems. These can be minimized by placing the
loudspeaker clear of any hard surfaces.
Minimum clearances
Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and functioning of
the reflex port must be ensured if the loudspeaker
is installed in a restricted space such as a cabinet
or integrated into a wall structure. The surroundings
of the loudspeaker must always be open to the
listening room with a minimum clearance of 5
centimeters (2”) behind, above and on both sides of
the loudspeaker. The space adjacent to the amplifier
must either be ventilated or sufficiently large to
dissipate heat so that the ambient temperature does
not rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95°F).
Mounting options
