  • Page 16: Speaker Positioning

    SPEAKER POSITIONING Identifying the ideal sound/acoustic room to play an audio system is not that strictly related to the proportions of the room, as many audiophile believes. The sound played through an audio system is just “energy diffused in a closed environment” that is all absorbed, reflected and dispersed.
  • Page 17 AUDIO RACKS Though the best position is not between the speakers, some special racks (like Gold Note Galileo due to its special curved shape) can help diffracting the sound waves. In case of standard racks placed between the speakers, is preferable to choose small ones to enhance a better sound focus.

  • Page 19 SPEAKER POSITIONING NARROWER STEREO SOUND STAGE SPEAKER POSITION (for solo instrumental music, like piano, guitar and voice etc.) Listening Point WIDE STEREO IMAGE SPEAKER POSITION A smaller distance between the speakers will result in a better focus, producing a less realistic (for some instrument music, synfonic orcherstra etc.) sound stage.
  • Page 20 SPEAKER POSITIONING DISTANCE BETWEEN SPEAKER AND LISTENING POINT ORIENTATION Listening Point The distance between the speakers should be the same that is between the speakers and the Listening Point. If the distance is shorter, the speakers must be oriented to the Listening point accordingly. Empirical tests are necessary to find the right balance between a wide stereo sound stage and very focused and crispy details.
