III. SPEAKER PLACEMENT-MAXIMIZING YOUR ENJOYMENT
The positioning of your main left-right speakers for stereo or home theatre can
playa major role in their performance. We hope you will read through the
placement discussion on these next few pages, beginning with these basics:
A. The optimum placement height for main speakers is normally with their
tweeters at about the same height as your ears when you are seated.
Our tower speakers are designed for optimal listening when seated. For
our compact monitors, we recommend using generally available
accessory speaker stands to achieve the right height if you are not using
existing shelves or furniture. You may prefer to tilt the speakers towards
ear level if the proper height is not possible.
B. You will generally get the best imaging and other spatial qualities if your
speakers and your usual seating position form an almost equilateral
triangle, with the speakers not quite as far apart from each other as they
are from you. If you must sit closer to one speaker than the other, use the
Balance control on your electronics (or the individual level controls on
home theatre channels) to give the more distant speaker a balancing
boost in volume.
c. The best high-frequency dispersion, producing the widest "sweet spot" in
which you and others can sit and enjoy optimum high-frequency
definition, will result when your speaker enclosures are positioned
vertically rather than horizontally. If you need to place compact monitor
enclosures horizontally, the speakers will still perform very well, but the
seating area where you will enjoy optimum sound will become more
narrow. We suggest you position the tweeters to the outside away from
the centre line.
