Setting up your speakers
The powered speaker system is designed for either
bookshelf or stand mounting. The stands should be
of rigid construction, between 45 cm to 69 cm high
and preferably have spikes.
The space between the two speakers and the
distance from the listener is important. If the
speakers are positioned too close or too far apart,
stereo imaging will not be fully developed. Speakers
are designed to perform optimally positioned at
least 20 cm from the rear wall in an average
listening room. However, it may not be possible to
install the speakers in this position and since rooms
vary in shape, size, and furnishing, a certain
amount of experimentation is necessary to
determine the most suitable position.
Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will
enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to
reduce soundstage depth, while moving the
speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have
the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speakers
close to or in the corners of the room, as this will
excite undesirable room coupling in the low and
middle frequencies. If the width of the rear wall is
limited then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce
reflections. Room characteristics and positioning
have a profound effect on the performance of the
speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving
the optimum positions will be rewarded.
