Setting up
2Channel Positioning
When arranging a 2-channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an
equilateral triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart.
The ideal distance from the rear wall varies depending on tastes and room acoustics, however,
the speakers need to be a minimum of 3 feet (91cm) from the side walls. They should be sited
at about 12” (30cm) from the rear wall for initial listening.
When setting up the speakers, experimentation is strongly advised as environmental acoustics
and personal preference dier with every installation. If there is insuicient bass present for
example, try moving your speakers closer to a wall. The opposite approach is recommended if
there is excessive bass. If stereo imaging is being lost, try ‘toeing-in’ the speakers slightly.
The sound should appear to originate from the centre point between the speakers,
not the speakers themselves.
