Speaker positioning
The places you choose to install your Micro SE or A’Diva SE speakers will have a large effect on the
sound quality of your system. In all cases, though, we recommend placing the Micro SE or A’Diva
SE speakers as close as practical to a wall or ceiling, in order to reinforce their bass output and
blend better with your subwoofer.
TECH TIP: No, you’re not hearing things-your Anthony Gallo Acoustics speakers do sound
better as they break in. They’ll reach optimal sound quality after about 50 hours of typical
use.
Stereo systems/desktop audio: If possible, place the Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs in an equilateral tri-
angle with the place where you usually sit when you listen. You can spread them apart a bit if you
want a wider soundstage and a more spacious sound. Or move them a little closer together for a
more focused center image. It’s totally up to you.
The Micro SEs and A’Diva SEs work exceptionally well for desktop audio systems, too. The only dif-
ference is that you’ll be sitting much close to the speakers, so you’ll want to place them closer
together—perhaps 3 feet apart rather than 8 to 10 feet as in a living-room application.
Typical setup of a stereo system consisting of two Micro SE speakers and a TR-1D subwoofer
It’s best to tilt or swivel the speakers so they point straight at your head when you’re seated in your
listening position. Usually, your subwoofer will sound best if it’s between the two speakers. If you
really want a lot of bass, you can put the subwoofer in a corner, but the bass will probably sound
boomy and undefined.
