Setting Up The Loudspeakers - Audio Physic AVANTERA Bedienungsanleitung

Setting Up the Loudspeakers

1. The ideal placement of your loudspeakers in your room involves positioning them in an
isosceles triangle arrangement including your listening seat, creating equal spacing between
each loudspeaker and the listening position.
2. The distance between the loudspeakers should be around 0.8 - 1.2 times as much as the
distance between the loudspeakers and the listening position. The closer you sit to the
loudspeakers, the more direct and dry your sound experience will be. As you move further
away from the loudspeakers, the bass response will normally increase and the spatial imaging
will seem more generous.
3. Where possible, the loudspeakers should be positioned half a metre away from the
surrounding walls. The larger the space between the loudspeakers and back wall,
4. The closer the loudspeakers come to the back wall (and/or side wall), the more powerful the
broadband reproduction of the low frequencies will be – resulting in stronger bass tones.
Bass boost of +3 to +6 dB
5. This effect can be made even more intense when the loudspeakers are placed in a corner. Low
tones become around 6 decibels (or more) louder and have a major effect on the sound

the more precise the sound reproduction,

Setup away from the wall: The

loudspeakers are positioned at least 50
centimetres away from the surrounding
walls. This provides a clearly defined
bass response and a clean, crisp
reproduction of midrange frequencies.
This bass boost can, however, also result in a
sound reproduction that is undifferentiated and
lacking in detail, depending on how close the
loudspeakers are to the walls.

positioned close to the wall.
reproduction. Where possible, you should not
place your new loudspeakers in a corner
because the acoustic conditions in this position do
not allow them to display their full range of
sound reproduction possibilities, instead they will
stay far below their actual sound potential.
Setup in the corners of the room: Low tones
become significantly louder and overlap into
the midrange frequencies. This results in a
washed-out and lethargic sound reproduction.
