Positioning the Front Loudspeakers The D12.3 and D12.4 models are designed to be floorstanding. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200mm from the rear walls and 700mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The D12.0, D12.1 and D12.2 models should be stand or wall mounted though they may be placed on a rigid shelf.
