Speaker Positioning
Adjustment of speaker position following initial installation
will probably further improve the sound quality and is
usually worthwhile.
In either stereo or home theatre installations, try to ensure that
the immediate surroundings of each speaker are similar in
acoustic character. For example, if one speaker is adjacent to
bare walls while the other is adjacent to soft furnishings and
curtains, both the overall sound quality and the stereo image
are likely to be compromised.
Conventional Stereo Systems
To begin with, the speakers should be positioned between 1.5m
by the listening area at the third corner. The speakers should be
approximately 0.5m away from the back wall, and at least 0.5m

Home Theatre Systems
If the speakers are to be used for the front channels in a home
theatre system, they should be placed closer together than for
the image. Positioning the speakers within approximately 0.5m
of the sides of the screen will also help keep the sound image
in scale with the visual image. As with conventional stereo
positioning, the speakers should ideally be at least 0.5m away
from any side walls. If you would prefer to place your speaker
against the back wall and this location results in over emphasised
bass, see the Fine Tuning section of this manual for information
on using the foam plugs.
