Setting Up Your System - Lipinski Sound L-505A User Manual

4. SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM

Installation tips:
Reflections in the room
●
Carpets, curtains and soft furniture absorb mid range and high
frequency sound. Big empty areas, on the contrary, reflect it and produce a
hard sound that may lead to a blurry dialogue. Apart from coloring the
sound, also the perspective of the sound will deteriorate. Reflections in the
room can roughly be compared to the reflections that cause ghost pictures
on a TV screen.
Low frequencies are not absorbed by curtains or carpets, but by
bending large surfaces. To control low frequencies is extremely challenging
and requires professional help from talented acoustician.
Amplification of bass frequencies in the room
●
A loudspeaker that is placed near a wall, ceiling or floor will usually be
amplified in the lower frequencies in a sometimes not desirable way (since
it may lead to an indistinct sound recreation). This amplification becomes
even more obvious if the loudspeaker is placed near a corner. Thus, for a
sound as clear as possible, the loudspeaker should be placed at least 30
cm (about 12 inches) away from the wall.
However, there are exceptions from this rule. For some types of walls /
rooms it may be advantageous to place the loudspeaker nearer to the wall
(read more below). Some constructions are made for standing near walls or
in a corner.
Furniture in the room
●
Be aware
and rattling sounds at loud bass.
Room dimension
●
Square floors dimensions, square walls, or rooms where the length is
exactly twice as long as the width should be avoided, since they may
create unwanted resonance.
