Positioning Passive Loudspeakers

1030i and 1050i
The 1030i and 1050i loudspeakers should be positioned at least 200mm
from a back wall and 500mm from the side walls. Placing the speakers
closer to the wall will increase bass but could cause the sound to boom
and lack precision and detail. The speakers should be 2m - 4m apart and
central to the seated listener. Turning the speakers slightly inwards will
sharpen a stereo image but may cause narrowing of the sound source.
>500mm
1010i and 1020i
The 1010i and 1020i are ideally mounted on Q-Acoustics floor stands or
wall mounted. If you are stand mounting, a simple guide is that the treble
unit should be at ear level to a seated listener. Wall mounted speakers
may be mounted slighter higher with the speaker angled down. Stand
mounted speakers should be treated as floorstanding speakers except
that the speaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall. Shelf

mounting is also possible.
An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics
1010i, 1020i and 1000Ci is available from your dealer. Floor stands for the
1010i and 1020i are also available.
Be prepared to experiment to find the best setup for your taste in your
particular listening room.

Effects loudspeakers

1000Ci
The 1000Ci is designed to be operated close to a TV screen and central
to it. It should be placed immediately above or below the screen. If you
are using a regular TV set, make sure that the TV is capable of adequately
supporting the speaker and has a level top. If not, consider placing the TV
on a cabinet with the 1000Ci on a secure shelf immediately below the TV.
If you have a Plasma or LCD monitor, mount the 1000Ci to the wall or
other suitable surface immediate ly above or below
the screen.

Surround Speakers

There are recommendations from Dolby labs for
5.1 effects speakers.
Surround speakers should be mounted on either
side of the listener, slightly behind the listening
position. The speakers should be sited facing
inward either mounted on the side walls of the
room or if the room is large, on high stands and
with their centres above ear level to a seated
listener.
