proper
in-

operation.
If
the
speaker
system
is
out-of-phase,
the
bass
tones
seem
to
be
missing
and
the
position
of
the
instruments
becomes
obscure.
Speaker placement
The
distance
between
speakers,
or
the
speakers
and
a
listener
depends
mainly
on
the
room
size.
Generally
it
is
recommended
that
the
speaker/listener
relationship
be
an
equilateral
triangle
con-
figuration
(as
illustrated).
If
the
speaker
separation
is
too
wide,
an
undesirable
“hole
in
the
middle”
effect
occurs.
ee
Left speaker
=—— Wall

Right speaker
50° - 60°
Best listening position
Place
the
right
and
left
speakers
in
similar
acoustic
environments,
otherwise
you
will
obtain
unbalanced
sound.
For
example,
placing
one
speaker
near
an
open
door
or
archway
will
decrease
the ap-
parent
bass
from
that
speaker.
Best
sound
is
usually
obtained
in
a
room
with
carpeting
on
the
floor,
heavy
draperies
and
upholstered
furniture.
Since
each
room
has
its
own
individual
acoustic
characteristic,
which
is
a
function
of
its
size,
construction
and
furnishing,
some
experimentation
with
speaker
placement
is
generally
necessary
before
the
correct
balance
of
stereo
image
and
bass
response
is
obtained.
This
will
be
time
well
spent,
resulting
in
your
enjoyment
of
the
maximum
capabilities
of
your
music
system.
