Positioning
the
Front
Loudspeakers
The
D12.3
and
D12.4
models are designed
to
be
floorstanding.
We
suggest that they are positioned at least
200mm
from the rear walls and
700mm
from the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The
D12.0
,
D12.1
and
D12.2
models
should
be
stand
or
wall
mounted though they may
be
placed
on a rigid shelf. The bass extension
will
improve
if
the small speakers are operated closer
to
the
rear wall.
If
the
loudspeakers are placed
too
close
to
the
walls
the
bass
will
increase
but
may
be
boomy
and indistinct.
If
the loudspeakers are placed away
from
the
walls,
the
inward angle may
be
increased by
up
to
40%
, although this may restrict the width
of
the
optimum
listening position.
A useful rule
of
thumb
is that
the
listener should
be
as
for
from
the
loudspeakers as
they
are from each other. The speakers should ideally
be
positioned so that the
treble
units are roughly
at
ear level
to
s seated listener. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different
configurations and play a
wide
range
of
programmes before finalising
the
position
of
your
speakers.

The centre channel loudspeaker should
be
positioned centrally between
the
loudspeakers, close
to
the television and
mounted
above
or
below
the
screen.
The loudspeaker should
be
located on a stable flat surface
to
avoid any cabinet
movement
at
high
sound levels.
If
you
mount
the
unit above
the
television,
move
it forward so that the front grille sits
slightly
in
front
of
the
screen and the
top
of
the cabinet.
A custom stand
is
available for
the
model
which allows
the
loudspeaker
to
be
positioned under a
wall
mounted monitor and has an adjustable vertical
tilt
for
optimal
dispersion.
