behind the panels and just supposed to provide some oomph
to the sound.
The Kodo is a different generation of speakers and shines with
its seamless integration between bass and the MT tower, that
was the weakness of the older generations of 4 tower systems.
So forget about the old school set-ups
Notes on sound reflections.
Behind speaker:
The farther away the system is from back wall, then less diffu-
sion ( if any ) is required.
Side walls
Diffusion should be used ( if any ) at sidewalls where first re-
flection will enter – in this example between 1/3 and 2/3
Behind listener
If distance is large little or perhaps moderate damping can be
applied. If it is closer diffusion can be applied, could be com-
bined with damping.
Note that the system is set up in a curve so all drivers are on
same curved line and pointing direct at the listener.
Toe-In
If the room is narrow it may be necessary to use the bass to-
wers on the outside of the MT tower to increase distance from
In a short room, a set-up where the “focus” of the speakers is
slightly behind the speaker may be required.
Reducing toe-in – opening up – may increase soundstage size,
opening to much can reduce focus and reduce the dynamic
headroom.
