Positioning Passive Loudspeakers
2050i
The 2050i loudspeakers should be positioned at least 200mm from a
back wall and 500mm from the side walls. Placing the speakers closer to
the wall will increase bass but could cause the sound to boom and lack
precision and detail. The speakers should be 2m - 4m apart and central
to the seated listener. Turning the speakers slightly inwards will sharpen a
stereo image but may cause narrowing of the sound source.
>500mm
2010i and 2020i
The 2010i and 2020i are ideally mounted on Q-Acoustics floor stands or
wall mounted. If you are stand mounting, a simple guide is that the treble
unit should be at ear level to a seated listener. Wall mounted speakers
may be mounted slighter higher with the speaker angled down. Stand
mounted speakers should be treated as floorstanding speakers except
that the speaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall. Shelf
mounting is also possible.

An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics
2010i, 2020i and 2000Ci is available from your dealer. Floor stands for the
2010i and 2020i are also available.
Be prepared to experiment to find the best setup for your taste in your
particular listening room.
Effects loudspeakers
2000Ci
The 2000Ci is designed to be operated close to a TV screen and central
to it. It should be placed immediately above or below the screen. If you
are using a regular TV set, make sure that the TV is capable of adequately
supporting the speaker and has a level top. If not, consider placing the TV
on a cabinet with the 2000Ci on a secure shelf immediately below the TV.
If you have a Plasma or LCD monitor, mount the 2000Ci to the wall or
other suitable surface immediately above or below
the screen using the Q-Acoustics Wall Bracket.
Surround Speakers
There are recommendations from Dolby labs for
5.1 effects speakers.
Surround speakers should be mounted on either
side of the listener, slightly behind the listening
position. The speakers should be sited facing
inward either mounted on the side walls of the
room or if the room is large, on high stands and
with their centres above ear level to a seated
listener.
