placement
plays
an
tmportant
role
in
the
reproduction
of

The
manner
in
which
the
speakers
are
placed
varies
depending
on
the
size
of
the
room
and
the
wall
coverings
used
in
the
room.
The

listener’s ear level and toward the sides of the room, making
speaker spuaker sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle.

Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for pow-
erful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not
affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you
can install it with the room layout in mind.
