Installation recommendations and notes about the EQ settings

A carefully chosen speaker location is important for obtaining a good sound. Furniture, curtains and
other objects all have a slight influence on the sound.
You should always try to install the speakers around head height for the listeners.
In order to minimise any unwanted sound reflections, there should be a minimum clearance of 0.8
m behind and beside the speakers. You can check for any sound reflections by moving the speaker
closer and closer to a corner of the room. The bass component will rise the closer the speaker is
placed to the corner.
Negative sound reflection can also occur from the surface (shelf, chest of drawers, etc.) on which
the speaker is placed. There is a difference in sound if you place the speaker on the front edge of
the furniture or in the centre of it.
When delivered, the sound is set for the installation conditions described above.
If you cannot find any location that meets the above requirements, you can still adjust the speaker
sound in order to optimise it for the given environment.
To do so, select the sound setting that best describes the location from the following list.

the listeners' head height, minimum
clearance to all walls 0.8 m.
