Positioning

Dynaudio loudspeakers consist of classic bass reflex
loudspeaker designs with no unusual or extraordinary
positioning demands. Every room will still have its
own particular sound characteristics. Any room is
also shaped and decorated uniquely, and therefore
remains independent regarding options for positioning
loudspeakers.
The following steps are general suggestions that will
make the correct positioning easier to achieve.

Excessive brightness
Direct sunlight or excessive brightness
can affect the color of any natural wood
veneer (the structural integrity of the
cabinet will not be affected).
To maintain the aesthetic quality of
the loudspeakers for the long term,
placing such in very warm, very cold,
or very humid environments should
be avoided.
