Positioning Of Avanti - Audio Physic AVANTI Bedienungsanleitung

Alongside the strength of the bass response, the distance from the side walls also particularly affects the
6.
localisation of sound events and therefore the precision of the spatial imaging. As the distance from the walls
increases, the localisation will become more precise and the sound will be more balanced. When the
loudspeakers are extremely close to the side walls, this will result in early reflections, leading to reduced
spatial perception and tending towards nervous sound reproduction. Curtains or shelves or similar at the sides
reduce this effect.
7. If you want to position your MIDEX loudspeakers on the left and right-hand sides of a cupboard or a tall
sideboard, please ensure that the fronts of the loudspeakers are level with the front of the cupboard or
sideboard. If the loudspeakers are positioned further back than the furniture, this will have an effect on the
sound, not only in the form of early reflections from the side walls of the cupboard as explained under point 6
but also, in some cases, by disrupting the unobstructed radiation of sound.
Positioning of AVANTI Loudspeakers
1. Once the loudspeakers are positioned parallel to the side
walls, turn them inwards until an imaginary line is pointing
from the tweeter of each loudspeaker towards your preferred
listening position. If you prefer to listen to music alone, the
two imaginary lines coming from the loudspeakers should
'intersect' at your listening position. This will result in
excellent localisation and spatial image. If you would rather
listen to music in a group, turn the loudspeakers further
inwards so that the imaginary lines cross in front of the
listening position.
First step: Angle the loudspeakers so that an imaginary line
is in place between the tweeters and your listening position.
If you prefer a wider soundstage and more generous spatial

imaging, position the loudspeakers at less of an angle so that
the imaginary lines (in blue) cross just behind the listening
position. Once a specific angle has been reached, the spatial
image in the centre between the loudspeakers will begin to
lose structure and precision. You can easily identify the ideal
angle by using a mono recording. When the voice of the artist
sounds clear again and comes directly from the middle
between the loudspeakers, you have found the ideal position.
Second step: Experiment with the angle. When it comes to
positioning your loudspeakers, your listening taste plays an
important role. To find the ideal position, mono recordings are
extremely useful, particularly those with a singing voice
and few instruments.
