Setting Up Your Ultra Evolution Speakers
25-30˚
Acoustics & Room Placement:
Proper placement of the front left and right speakers are essential to achieve the smoothest
frequency response, optimal stereo imaging and the most spacious, three-dimensional sound-
stage.
Stereo imaging and soundstage are affected by loudspeaker location and the listening position,
relative to each other and room boundaries. Moving the loudspeakers away from walls will tend
to improve stereo imaging and spaciousness by attenuating and delaying boundary reflections,
thus optimizing direct sound and helping to preserve spatial information in the recording.
The amount of exposed glass, drywall and bare floor in the room will increase the amount of
reflected sound and can influence the sound quality of any loudspeaker system. Furnishings like
carpeting, drapes and upholstered furniture will reduce the amount of reflected sound in the
room.
SVS recommends starting with the front loudspeakers located 30-degrees to the left and right
(i.e., a 60-degree total window) of the listening position. The speakers can be angled slightly
toward the listening position. This is called a “toe-in” and will focus the acoustic image
