POSITIONING
8. Room and furniture influence
The sound quality of any loudspeaker is influenced by the furniture,
wall materials and other objects in the listening room. For example,
large rooms without much furniture and many clean, hard wall surfa-
ces can give a bright and diffuse sound with diverse echoing frequen-
cies. A room with thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will
give a slightly warmer, darker and less lively sound.
It is important to take into account such room factors when critiquing
the results during experimentation with positioning the loudspeakers,
and to understand the potential effects of the room on the loudspea-
kers' performance.
9. Miscellaneous Concerns
To maintain the aesthetic quality of the Contour loudspeakers for the
long term, placing such in very warm, very cold, or very humid envi-
ronments should be avoided. Direct sunlight or excessive brightness
can affect the colour of any natural wood veneer, but will not affect the
structural integrity of the cabinet.
A cloth grille is included and can be placed on the cabinet to help pro-
tect the drivers from dust and any other influences. The grille is acous-
tically optimized, but the highest sound quality levels will be attained
without any grille covers in place during listening.
