Loudspeaker toe-in

Depending on your personal listening environment and room dimensions, the
loudspeakers may be angled in towards the listening area to focus the sound radiation.
This positioning will typically improve imaging and is especially recommended by
Dynaudio (see Fig. 7). Nevertheless will the precise positioning be left to your personal
listening habits.

Room and furniture influence

The sound quality of any loudspeaker is influenced by the furniture, wall materials and
other objects in the listening room. For example, large rooms without much furniture and
many clean, hard wall surfaces can give a bright and diffuse sound with diverse echoing
frequencies. A room with thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will give a
slightly warmer, darker and less lively sound.

Grille

A cloth grille is included and can be affixed to the cabinet to help protect the drivers from
dust and any other influences. The grille is acoustically optimized, but the highest sound
quality levels will be attained without any grille covers in place during listening.
To remove the grille, gently pull the grille at all corners straight away from the front.
To fit the grille, line up the studs with the corresponding front baffle holes and gently
push the grille in at all corners.
