SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Golden
Ear
Technology lnv
isa
® speakers are
designed
to
allow
flexible
placement
while
providing
a very
large
window
of
sound
throughout
your listening room. Please
remember
that
although
the
following
recommendations
are usually valid, all rooms
and
listening sets-ups are
somewhat
unique
,
so
do
not
be
afraid
to
experiment
with
the
speakers.
Remember
,
whatever
sounds best
to
you
is
correct.
Room Acoustics
Golden
Ear
Technology lnvisa® speakers
are
designed
to
provide
exceptional
sound in a
wide
variety
of
domestic
settings. It
is
important
to
note
however
that
listening
room
construction, dimensions
and
furnishings
all
play
a
part
in
the
quality
of
sound
you
will ultimately
achieve
from
your
new
speakers.
The
listening
room
will
impose
its
own
character
on
the
performance
capabilities
of
the
speaker system. Regarding
the
room
, please
note
that:
Mid
and
high frequencies are
affected
by
the
amount
of
soft furnishings in
your
room
- curtains, carpets,
sofas, wall coverings,
etc.
An excess
of
such items
can
result in a
somewhat
dull sound. The
same
room
without
any
soft furnishings
can
produce
an
overall bright sound.
The
typical
quantity
of
soft furnishings
found
in
most living environments provides
the
right
acoustic
characteristics
to
allow
the
speakers
to
sound
balanced;
Concrete
floors
and
walls
tend
to
aggravate
low-frequency
standing
wave
problems
and
are
less
preferred;
Rooms
where
height,
width
and
length
are
similar should
be
avoided
as
they
can
exhibit significant
low-frequency
standing
wave
problems.
This
may
result
in
reduced
clarity.
In
such rooms
avoid
corner
placement
to
minimize
acoustic
problems.
The
extra
care
you
take
in
correctly
positioning
the
speakers will result in
greater
listening
enjoyment.
So
,
keep
the
following
guide
lines
in
mind
when
deciding
on
the
best speaker
placement.
To
ensure
the
best
performance
possible, observe
the
following
placement
guidelines:
LOCATION: When
preparing
to
install your speakers
pick
a
location
that
has
the
required
clearance
between
wall studs or ceiling joists.
Make
sure
to
check
for wiring,
conduit
,
water
pipes, HVAC
ducts
and
other
obstructions
before
cutting
the
installation
ho
le.
ACCURATE
TIMBRE
:
For
the
most
accurate
and
natural timbre, in-wall speakers'
high-frequency
drivers should
be
at
approximately
ear
level. Select locations
that
allow
the
sound
to
reach
the
listening
area
unobstructed
by
furnishings.
BALANCED
BASS
: Placing
speake
rs in corners will over-emphasize bass
and
reduce
overa
ll
clarity. If possible,
position speakers
away
from side walls. T
his
will ensure
better
bass
performance
and
optimal
midra
n
ge
clarity.
