Horizontal aiming
Stereo set-ups
Fig 6.2-5 Poor horizontal aiming
Avoid aiming your F81 straight out as this can increase side wall effects and will cause coverage gaps in
between the loudspeakers.
Fig 6.2-6 Improved horizontal aiming
Even if the room has good acoustical properties, your audience will enjoy far better sound quality if the
system is toed in towards them rather than reflecting off the side walls.
The classic 60° stereo set-up (see next page) was devised for personal monitoring or home listening over
a relatively small listening area. Achieving good stereo imaging for larger spaces can be a challenge due
to the much larger left-right propagation times involved.
The 60° angle is not critical. The appropriate set-up for your particular application will be an intelligent
compromise between stereo imaging and coverage without too much spill onto side walls.
