Page 7: Initial Placement And Mounting Instructions
OMD-28 FRONT SPEAKERS For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same distance from their respective sidewalls. If the distance from one speaker to the listener is very different from the other it can affect the soundstage or stereo imaging. - Page 8 But this is not always possible in a home environment. The OMD-R will emit sound from both sides of the speaker, and is best placed where it can use the walls to reflect the sound around the listeners.
- Page 9 You can also achieve excellent results in the rear position. Try not to place the speakers directly into a corner. Leave 2 or more feet between the edge of the cabinet and the sidewall, so the sound can reflect into the room environment.

Two or even three amplifiers in the case of the OMD-28 can further enhance the performance of the OM Design series.

Page 15: Fine Tuning Your Audio System
Before beginning any fine-tuning, please ensure all connections are properly made and your speakers have had the chance to break-in for a minimum of 100 hours. Also, it is assumed that you have already performed the initial placement of each speaker in your system and are now trying to fine tune the performance of your new speakers in your room. -
Page 16: How To Fine-Tune The Imaging
HOW TO FINE-TUNE THE IMAGING If you are experiencing issues with imaging, first ensure your speakers are in phase with each other. If this is the case and imaging is still an issue, moving the speakers closer together or toeing them in slightly (angling them towards the listening position) can aid in this respect. -
