POSITIONING
The sound from loudspeakers depends very much on the room
and on the way they are set up. Please consult your dealer for
advice on how to set up your Børresen loudspeakers in your
home.
These guidelines are general and will give you a good starting
point for further experimenting in nding out what is just the
right setup for your room.
The distance from the side walls to
the loudspeakers
The Børresen loudspeakers are not that sensitive in regard to
getting to close to sidewalls. A distance of about 15 cm will
be enough. Too short a distance to the side walls is likely to
increase the amount of bass.
The distance between the rear
of the loudspeakers and the wall
behind them
Start with a distance of 50 cm. This distance should be exactly
the same for both loudspeakers. Try the loudspeakers out with
music you know and nd out what distance gives the best sound.
Greater distance = weaker bass, more precise bass, better
precision and bigger sound stage. Shorter distance = more and
softer bass, and a smaller sound stage.
The distance between the
loudspeakers and the listener
The ideal distance between the loudspeakers is not less than 3
metres. Put the loudspeakers in an angle making the center point
at the listeners shoulders. The lines should cross about one
meter behind the listeners head, meaning that the listener should
just be able to see the two inner sides of the speakers.
