Positioning The Speakers - Dynaudio LYD User Manual

Positioning the speakers

In order to get the best performance from your Dynaudio speakers, care must be taken in positioning them in the
listening environment. The room greatly affects the sound so the position and angle of the speakers relative to the
walls, ceiling and floor is critical in any listening environment.
Acoustic Axis
The acoustic axis is an imaginary line passing through the center point on the speaker and is used for positioning.
This point, shown in Figure 3, should be used for measuring the distance and angle to the listener. The point is
positioned half the distance between the boundary of the tweeter and the boundary of the woofer or midrange
driver. LYD 5, 7 & 8 are designed to be positioned vertically and pointed directly at the listener, while the LYD 48 is
designed to be used horizontally.
