General tips for setting up speakers
Stereo triangle
You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speakers. This means the distance
between the speakers should be the same as the distance from your listening position to both speakers; in
other words an equilateral triangle.
Damping
If your room…
a) doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the
back and side walls or…
b) has highly refl ective surfaces (i.e. glass windows or bare plastered walls)
or…
c) still doesn’t sound quite right
…we strongly recommend that you ‘damp’ your room’s critical surfaces. This can be done simply by adding
curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on. A damped surface is almost always preferable to a hard refl ective
surface.
Depending on the placement of the speakers, room size, sound refl ecting surfaces, furniture, etc, it is entirely
up to you how you fi ne-adjust the placement, angling and damping. Remember to take your time and use your
ears.
