Positioning for the stereo:
When positioning your loudspeakers, follow the rules below:
-
Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms
with no carpets or curtains.
-
Your listening zone should not be too close to the loud
speakers: minimum 2m
-
The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2
m for a good stereo effect.
- If possible, place the speakers so that they "diffuse" along the
length of the room.
- Avoid placing them in the corners, this excites the rooms own
resonance, leave at least 40 cm between the wall and the speaker.
Position the speakers carefully in relation to the back wall.
Generally, a position close to the back wall improves the response
in low frequencies (to the detriment of the image) and inversely, a
position far from the wall helps reproduction of a wide and deep
sound image (carry out several tests to find the best compromise in
your room).
Positioning for Home Cinema:
A typical home cinema installation includes:
5. Two main left and right speakers
6. A central speaker
7. One or several subwoofers
8. Several surround speakers (signal 5:1: 2 rear speakers, signal
6:1: 3 rear speakers, signal 7:1: 4 rear speakers).
To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as
for a stereo installation (see paragraph on stereo positioning).
- The center speaker should be placed on the same line formed by the
two main speakers.
,
- A subwoofer is particularly recommended in home cinema to
reproduce the special effects channel in the very low register on
supports such as audio or video DVD. The positioning of the
subwoofer is not critical if you select a connection frequency with the
main speakers below 80Hz. Below this frequency, it is better to move
the subwoofer close to the main speakers, the best position being
between them. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to
avoid creating unpleasant resonance.
- It is recommended to place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2
m in height. They are used to give atmosphere.
You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's manual.
Choosing the Amplifier;
Use a good quality amplifier (the result will be better) and of a sufficient power. It is preferable to use a powerful amplifier, with less risk of
distortion, than "boosting" a less powerful amplifier which will clip and seriously risk damaging your loudspeakers.
Finally, remember that a volume button in the middle position does not mean that the amplifier is at "middle" power. It depends firstly on the
sensitivity of the inputs and the level of output of the source used.
