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.

WALLS

1’ –2’ FEET

FIG. 1

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.
