REVELL Ultima Salon User Manual page 9

• Optimum timbre and imaging precision is obtained with the
speakers pointing almost directly toward the prime listening
position. Some listeners prefer a wider "soundstage," which is
achieved by reducing the toe-in angle, perhaps to the point of
aiming the speakers straight ahead.
• Imaging and a sense of spaciousness will improve as the
speakers are moved away from the wall behind the speakers
and the side walls.
NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position back to
maintain the best stereo image.
• For more bass reinforcement, try moving the speakers closer to
the wall behind the speakers or corners.
NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position forward
to maintain an acceptable stereo image.
• For best results, make sure there are no objects between the
SALON speakers and the intended listening area (e.g., a coffee
table in front of the listener will degrade timbre and imaging).
If possible, avoid placing the speakers near large objects, which
can cause unwanted reflections.
• Ideally, the listening room should be acoustically neutral, nei-
ther producing any distinct echoes nor sounding completely
"dead" and lifeless. If needed, consult your Revel dealer for spe-
cific recommendations on room acoustics.
• After choosing a final placement, add the spikes (and covers, if
desired) as described in Installing Spikes on the next page.
