OBERON 1 C speakers can be mounted
on either speaker stands, shelves, wall
brackets or furniture units. The speakers
also incorporate keyhole slots on their
rear panels that enable them to be hung
directly on walls. Mounting your OBERON
1 C speakers on stands is likely to result in
the best audio performance. However, great
results can also be obtained with wall, shelf
and furniture mounting.
OBERON 7 C speakers are intended to
be placed directly on the floor and are not
suitable for any other kind of installation.
Pairs of OBERON 1 C and OBERON 7 C
speakers should generally be positioned
between 2.0 m and 4.0 m apart with the
primary listening area a similar distance
away. OBERON 1 C speakers should ideally
be located at, or slightly below, listening head
height. Always aim to keep the speakers
away from room corners and try to ensure
3.1 OBERON 1 C & OBERON 7 C – Positioning
that the acoustic environment around each
speaker is similar. Solid walls and heavy
curtains, for example, would constitute
different acoustic environments.
It is likely to be beneficial to position the
speakers initially at least 0.3 m away from
the rear wall. Changing the distance to
the rear wall can be used to adjust the
prominence of bass frequencies. For less
bass, move the speakers further from the
wall.
OBERON C speakers feature response
characteristics optimised for installation
without an inward angle towards the listening
area. They are best aligned at right angles to
the rear wall.
