Installation
Loudspeaker placement in a room can greatly affect
performance. The XRT29 Loudspeaker is designed for
both Music and Home Theater Systems. The optimal
method for selecting speaker locations includes the use of
a real time spectrum analyzer operated by an experienced
system installer. An uncompromising installation would
take into consideration the floor, wall and ceiling
coverings, the type and placement of furniture and can
even include the architectural design of the room and its
construction materials. In those instances where placement
in the room is fixed, an environmental equalizer may be
needed to restore proper musical balance. Experiment with
various Loudspeaker positions to determine the best
sounding location.
Locating Loudspeakers for use in Home Theater
In a Home Theater application, the placement of Left and
Right Front Loudspeakers can be limited by such
considerations
as the size and
location of the
video monitor.
The locating
suggestions in
the “for use in a
Music System”
section below
can still be
helpful as a
starting place.

Locating Loudspeakers for use in a Music System
When used in a Music System the distance between the
Loudspeakers and the listener to the Loudspeakers should
form an
isosceles
triangle. If the
speakers are too
far apart relative
to the listener,
some imaging
can be lost.
