listener. This reflection is undesirable because it is slightly
delayed from the original sound and “smears” pinpoint
imaging. This point on the sidewall can be easily determined
with the help of a second person and a mirror.
Sitting in your listening position have an assistant hold a
mirror up on the sidewall. Move the mirror until you can see
the tweeter. This is the point of first reflection. A diffuser (see
your dealer), an absorptive material or even a piece of
furniture (a rack of CDs or LPs is ideal) can help break up this
point of first reflection.
3. Rear wall. In many cases it will be unnecessary to do
anything with the wall behind your listening position unless
you are sitting very close to the rear wall. You may want to
experiment with diffusers or absorbers behind you for best
sound. Absorption behind the listener is usually beneficial.
Mastering the Refinements of the system
Fine tuning an audio system is an art that will take time and
patience. It can be one of the more rewarding learning experiences
you will have in the pursuit of music and its enjoyment.
Keep at it and remember to enjoy your music as you work on
perfecting your set-up. Use as wide a range of music and
performances as you can get a hold of in your set-up. The better your
set-up, the better badl y-re cord ed music will sound. If your system only
sounds great on a very small number of “reference recordings”, then
you will be restricted to enjoying a narrow range of music.
One of the best pieces of advice we can offer is that you take
advantage of the ear's ability to identify similarities and differences in
sound. This ability is useful in fine tuning your system because if
every recording you listen to has a similarity of sound (too much or
too little of a certain frequency for instance) then you can be fairly
certain that you have yet to perfect your set-up.
