Speaker Placement
GoldenEar BRX speakers are designed to allow exible 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
GoldenEar BRX 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 oors 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 signicant
low-frequency standing wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible,
experiment with speaker 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 guidelines in mind when deciding on the best speaker placement.
