SET-UP RECOMMENDATION:
THE SPEAKER ON LOCATION
Venere S was designed to be easily driven by the amplifier, and just as easy to integrate into the
listening environment.
The high structural rigidity and angle of the speaker for perfectly positioning the drivers are design
solutions that make the interaction of the speaker with the listening environment smoother and afford great
and immediate satisfaction.
For those who wish to obtain the best possible performance, these suggestions may be useful:
1. The choice of the listening room and the speaker
position influence the performance of the
whole system. A room with an irregular shape
is preferable; this type of room improves the
response in the environment because it limits the
formation of standing waves.
2. Rugs and curtains
positively influence the acoustic response,
because they contribute to absorbing reflections
and standing waves that are created in the
listening room.
3. There are no hard and fast rules for every
environment. A good approach to the problem,
however, is to virtually divide the listening
environment into three equal parts, as shown by
the broken lines in fig. 8. At this point, position
the speakers on the first of these lines and well
away from the side walls. The listening position
should be placed on the other line, as shown
in fig. 8. This will ensure a good amount of
ENGLISH
(without exaggerating)
air all around the subjects involved in the stereo
reproduction, because the speakers can work
freely while the listener is shielded off from the
acoustic reflections that generate near the walls
and corners of the room. Fig. 8 also shows
how the speakers should be angled to converge
towards the listening point, so creating the
typical 'isosceles triangle' configuration. This
final adjustment, consisting of angling the
speakers literally towards the ears of the listener,
greatly improves the focus of the stereophonic
image.
4. We are aware that many of our customers will
not be able to create these quasi-ideal listening
conditions because of objective problems
connected with the organization of spaces and
furniture in the home environment; we therefore
advise positioning the speakers away from
room corners and keeping them at a distance
of 70-80 cm min. from the side and back walls.
Keeping a distance of 150-250 cm between the
speakers improves stereo reproduction.
