Audio Set-up Guide To enjoy more precise audio imaging, an unhindered sound stage and improved audio clarity in a near field listening set-up, correct placement and positioning of your speakers is crucial. Achieving an optimum near field listening set-up using the Ion Forge Pro Series Desktop Speaker Stands is easily achievable. STEP ONE Setting the Correct Height FIGURE 1.1 Adjust the height settings of your desktop speaker stands so that when you place your speakers on top of the stands the mid-axis between each speaker’s tweeter and woofer is set at your seated ear level. - Page 11 Follow the simple set-up steps outlined in this guide and then experiment with your desktop speaker stand settings and speaker placement until you feel that you have created a near field listening ‘sweet spot’ that works best for you. 85mm 85mm Product Manual & Audio Set-up Guide Pro Series Desktop Speaker Stands...

A good guide to work with is to place your speakers at arm’s length away, equidistant apart and toed inwards at 30 to 45 degrees. ANGLE EACH SPEAKER FACE INWARDS APPROXIMATELY 30°...
- Page 13 For the majority of speakers, the tweeter’s sound source is closer to you than the woofer’s sound source; tilt your speakers slightly back to correct for this. MAXIMUM TILT 20° FORWARD 20° BACK Product Manual & Audio Set-up Guide Pro Series Desktop Speaker Stands...
- Page 14 Audio Set-up Guide STEP FOUR Fine Tune Your Set-up FIGURE 4.1 (BIRDS EYE VIEW) Experiment with further desktop speaker stand and speaker positioning options until you find a configuration that sounds the best to you. If you feel the audio image is not deep enough, move your speakers further away from you. Alternatively if you feel the sound lacks weight, move your speakers closer toward you.
- Page 15 Placing your speakers too close to a rear wall or in a corner often results in sound waves bouncing off the rear or side walls before reaching your ears as secondary waves; this can degrade audio image and audio clarity.

- Page 16 Audio Set-up Guide STEP SIX Subwoofer Placement For a 2.1 channel set-up we suggest placing your subwoofer on the floor, in-line with and mid-way between your left and right channel speakers. The direction and source of low frequency sound waves (generally anything below 80 Hz) cannot be perceived by the human ear. This means that depending on the cross-over frequency set on your subwoofer, the exact placement of your subwoofer in your near field listening set-up is not as critical as the placement of your forward facing left and right channel speakers.
