Installation
ESL HOME
is designed for ground mounting in close proximity to the listener. The
distance between the loudspeaker and the listener should not exceed 120 cm. A
distance of 60 - 100 cm (a) is optimal. The distance between the two speakers can
be between 60cm and 100cm (b). In doing so, the loudspeakers should be aligned
to the listener (see figure 1).

Acoustic influences
The
ESL HOME
is a so-called dipole loudspeaker. Its sound radiation is identical
front and rear (as acoustically open), - but relative to the other side - phase-rotated
by 180°. Thus, the transducer is subject to the "acoustical short circuit". This
increases in intensity with decreasing frequency. The transmission behavior of the
ESL HOME is therefore linearized using the built-in frequency correction circuit.
The effect of this linearization is optimized to the recommended listening range.
At the same time, however, it is also influenced by the immediate spatial
