Positioning
Positioning
The Focus range consists of classic bass reflex loudspeaker designs with no unusual or
extraordinary positioning demands. Every room will still have its own particular sound
char
acteristics. All rooms are shaped and decorated differently, and therefore remain
unique regarding options for positioning loudspeakers. The following steps are
general suggestions that will make the correct positioning easier to achieve.
General recommendations
Following explanations refer to Fig. 3:
The distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position should be the
same (B). Try to achieve an isosceles triangle.
The distance between the loudspeakers should be the same or better slightly less
than the distance between each loudspeakers and your listening position (A, B).
The closer the listening position is in relation to the loudspeakers, the closer the
speakers can be positioned to each other
As a starting point, it is recommended that the speakers be about 2 meters apart from
each other for the best results (A).
If the speakers are positioned too close to each other, the stereo image will not seem
realistic; if that distance is too wide, the image may leave an acoustic hole in the
middle.
Paying attention to the image during listening tests will help dictate optimum
placement during experimentation and set-up.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness can affect the color of any natural wood veneer
(the structural integrity of the cabinet will not be affected).
X To maintain the aesthetic quality of the Focus loudspeakers for the long term, placing
such in very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided.
