Placement
Following explanations refer to the figure below. The distance between each loudspeaker (A) and your
listening position (B) should be about the same. Try to achieve an isosceles triangle.
The distance between the loudspeakers should be the same or slightly less than the distance between each
loudspeaker and your listening position (A, B).
The closer the listening position is in relation to the loudspeakers, the closer the speakers can be positioned
to each other.
As a starting point, it is recommended that the speakers be about 2 meters apart from each other for the best
results (A).
If the speakers are positioned too close to each other, the stereo image will not seem realistic; if that
distance is too wide, the image may leave an acoustic hole in the middle.
Paying attention to the image during listening tests will help dictate optimum placement during
experimentation and set-up.
