Positioning the Front Loudspeakers
The 230, 240 and 250 models are designed to be
floor
standing. We suggest
that they
arc positioned at
least 200mm from the rear walls and
700mm from
the
side walls, facing slightly
inwards.
The
210
and 220 models should be stand or wall
mounted though they may be placed
on
a
rigid shelf. The bass extensiOn will
improve
if
the
small speakers are operated closer to
the rear
wall.
If the
loudspeakers
are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and
indistinct. If the loudspeakers
are
placed away
from the walls, the
inward
angle may be increased by
up to
40%, although this may
restrict the
width of
the
optimum
listening position.
A
useful
rule of thumb is !hilt
the listener
should be as for from the
loudspeakers
as
they
are
from
each other.
The
speakers should
ideally be
positioned so that the treble units are roughly at ear
level
to s seated
listener.
As personal
taste plays
a
large
role, experiment with
different
configurations and
play
a wide range of
progmmmes
before finalising
the
position of your speakers.
Positioning the Centre Loudspeaker
The centre channel
loudspeaker
should
be positioned
centrally between
the loudspeakers, close to the television
and
mounted above
or
below
the
screen.
The
loudspeaker
should
be located
on a stable
flilt
surface
to
avoid any cabinet
movement at high
sound
levels. If
you mount
the unit
above
the television, move it forward
so
that the front
grille
sits
slightly in
front
of
the
screen and
the top
of
the
cabinet.
A custom stand
is
available for
the model
which allows
the loudspeaker to be positioned under a
wall
mounted monitor
and
has
an
adjustable
vertical
tilt
for optimal
dispersion.
