Positioning
Excessive brightness
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness
can affect the colour of any natural wood
veneer (the structural integrity of the
cabinet will not be affected).
►
To maintain the aesthetic quality of
the loudspeakers for the long term,
placing them in very warm, very cold,
or very humid environments should
be avoided.
General recommendations
The following explanations refer to Fig. 3.
• The distance between each
loudspeaker and your listening
position should be the same (B). Try to
achieve an isosceles triangle.
• The distance between the
loudspeakers should be the same or
better slightly less than the distance
between each loudspeaker and your
listening position (A, B).
• The closer the listening position is
in relation to the loudspeakers, the
closer the speakers can be positioned
to each other.
• As a starting point, it is recommended
that the speakers be about 2 meters
apart from each other for the best
results (A).
• If the speakers are positioned too
close to each other, the stereo image
will not seem realistic; if that distance
is too wide, the image may leave an
acoustic hole in the middle.
• Paying attention to the image
during listening tests will help
dictate optimum placement during
experimentation and set-up.

Positioning
Dynaudio loudspeakers consist of classic bass reex
loudspeaker designs with no unusual or extraordinary
positioning demands. Every room will still have its
own particular sound characteristics. Any room is
also shaped and decorated uniquely, and therefore
remains independent regarding options for positioning
loudspeakers.
The following steps are general suggestions that will make
the correct positioning easier to achieve.
