Speaker Placement Achieve maximum performance and optimal sound quality from your ELAC Navis speakers with proper speaker placement and set-up. While not all rooms are the same, use the following guidelines to configure the speakers for your particular room. There are no “exact” rules or boundaries in setting up your speakers but the following suggestions will help optimize your desired results.
Stereo Setup • For the best results and the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle (fig. 2) is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position. This set up creates the optimum imaging performance. • If you find that your Navis left and right speakers are too far apart, angle (toe in) them towards the listening position to gain a more focused central image.
