Owner's Manual
Speaker Placement
Achieve maximum performance and optimal sound quality from
your
ELAC Carina 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. Remember
the
best
sound set-up
is
what
sounds best
for
you so
don't
be
afraid
to
experiment
and make adjustments
to
the
placement and directivity
of
the speakers.

Place the speakers approximately one
to
two
feet
away (fig.
1)
from boundaries such
as
wall(s) and especially
corners. Close proximity
to
a side
or
rear wall will enhance bass performance (output),
but
being
too
close
(particularly
to
a corner) may result
in
bass
that
is
unnatural. If a
corner
location
is
unavoidable,
try
to
position
the
loudspeaker so
that
the
distance
to
the
rear wall
is
not
equal
to
the
distance
to
the
side wall.
