Owner's Manual Contour Positioning
Positioning
Dynaudio loudspeakers consist of classic bass reex
loudspeaker designs with no unusual or extraordinary
positioning demands. Every room will still have its own
particular sound characteristics. Any room is also shaped
and decorated uniquely, and therefore remains independent
regarding options for positioning loudspeakers.
The following steps are general suggestions that will make
the correct positioning easier to achieve.
Excessive brightness
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness
can affect the color of any natural wood
veneer (the structural integrity of the
cabinet will not be affected).
To maintain the aesthetic quality of
the loudspeakers for the long term,
placing such in very warm, very cold,
or very humid environments should
be avoided.
General recommendations
Following explanations refer to Fig. 3:
• The distance between each
loudspeaker and your listening position
should be the same (B). Try to achieve
an isosceles triangle.
• The distance between the loudspeakers
should be the same or better slightly
less than the distance between each
loudspeakers 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
