Positioning - Tannoy KINGDOM ROYAL Manual

POSITIONING

Place the loudspeakers with their rear
panels approximately 1m from the rear
wall. Remember that the proximity
of the loudspeakers to walls and
corners will affect the sound. Some
experimentation will probably be
needed to fine tune the stereo
image depth and low frequency
sound quality. Stereo image
separation and depth will be
improved by toeing-in the cabinets
towards the listening position. The axes
of the cabinets can even intersect at a
point slightly in front of the listening
position. Close-to-wall positions and
room corners more so, have the effect
of increasing very low frequency sound
energy. Reflective adjacent walls may
upset the stereo image by causing
unwanted reflections.

When the optimum position for the
loudspeakers has been determined,
position the three metal cups provided
in the accessories pack, so that they sit
under the three support cones, on the
underside of the loudspeaker. These are
positioned two at the front and one at
the rear. This will give maximum
stability, and enable your loudspeakers
to provide their full dynamics and
resolution of detail.
WARNING: This operation should be
carried out by two people, to avoid
the risk of personal injury, should the
speaker slip or fall.
