  • Page 9: Selecting The Installation Location

Since rooms are shaped uniquely, the positioning of the loudspeakers results in totally different behavior.

Focus XD loudspeakers were developed to be placed free-standing, and therefore they reach their optimum performance when positioned as clear of any walls as possible.
