In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is important to
determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reections
from the oor, ceiling and side walls inuence the balance, imaging and overall sonic
quality at the listening position. We suggest you experiment with speaker placement to
determine which location offers the best overall sound.
As a starting point, we recommend placing your left and right MAIN speakers at least
15 inches from the back wall and 7 feet apart from each other. The distance from the
listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that separates the
two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position may
give a more spacious and realistic sound stage. Main speakers should be placed on
stands or mounted with the available brackets which will elevate the tweeter close to
the height of the ear.
In home theater applications, the CENTER channel speaker should be placed in the
center between both left and right main speakers. Often times this positioning dictates
placing the speaker either directly above or below a television monitor. Since the RBH
C-4 speaker is shielded, it may be placed close to a television without cause for concern.
The speaker may be used in a horizontal (lying down) or vertical position.
SURROUND speakers may be placed either behind or to the sides of the listening
position. The listening position should be at the center of both surround speakers. For
best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either
towards or away from the listening position.
Placement of the SUBWOOFER will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension
of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced
by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer
sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from
walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner
than if the woofer were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by plac-
ing a subwoofer along a wall 3-5 feet from a corner. We recommend you experiment
with subwoofer placement and the sub-amplier controls to achieve the proper bass
balance.
Plan on giving your speakers 10-15 hours of playing time to adequately “break-in”. Dur-
ing this time period the driver suspension will loosen up. The result will be an increase
in low frequency response, openness of midrange and improved denition.
