6. Alongside the strength of the bass response, the distance from the side walls also particularly affects
the 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
acoustic reflections, leading to both reduced spatial perception and a rather nervous sound reproduction.
Curtains or shelves or similar at the sides reduce this effect.
Positioning the Loudspeakers
1. Once the loudspeakers are positioned parallel to the side walls, turn them inwards until an imiginary
line is pointing from the tweeter of each loudspeaker towards your preferred listening position. If
you prefer to listen to music alone, these imaginary lines coming from the loudspeakers should
'intersect' at your listening position. This will result in excellent localisation and spatial imaging.
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.
2. If you prefer a wider soundstage and more generous spatial imaging, position the loudspeakers at
less of an angle so that the imaginary lines 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.
You can find an abundance of further tips and tricks concerning setting up your speakers and background
information on the topic of listening in the technical area of our website at: www.audiophysic.de
First step: Angle the loudspeakers so that
an imaginary line is in place between the
tweeters and your listening 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.
