2.2 Imaging and Soundstage
One great advantage of a true line-source is that good imaging and
soundstage is a given. However, it is possible to fine-tune the system
for ultimate enjoyment.
If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP with
good soundstaging information, the performer should appear to come
from behind the loudspeakers and be at the appropriate height for a
standing person.
If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the
system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for
someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume
the artist will appear too big, and the opposite is true for too little
volume.
If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, place the
woofer towers closer together or closer to the midrange/ tweeter
wings and re-listen. Repeat this process till you have it right. Having
the woofer towers inside of the midrange/tweeter wings is rarely the
correct solution. If the image is still too large, try moving the
midrange/tweeter wings closer together.
If the voice is too low in height, turn the Midrange Control to the next
higher position and the image of the voice will move upward slightly.
If you have the speakers only 20% away from the front wall, and you
are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing
behind the speaker enough), pull the midrange tweeter panels away
from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled
far enough away, you may not have enough front to back depth. If
you get the speakers much beyond 1/3 of the way into the room (or
27 ft), it is unlikely that pulling them further away will have any
further effect.
Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space
requirements. If the speakers are too far apart you will lose the side
image and if they are too close together you will have too small a
center stage. We recommend you begin with the midrange/tweeter
wings six to eight feet apart as measured from tweeter to tweeter. If
you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the
midrange panels about 5 to 10 degrees towards your seating position
until you have a properly defined center image.
