placed

within

four

of

the

for

room

acoustics

The

acoustics

of

your

room

can

affect

the

overall

sound

quality

of

your

speakers.

For

instance,

rooms

full

of

sound

absorbing

furnishings

(upholstered

furniture,

wall-to-wall

carpets,

heavy

drapes.

etc.)

may

reduce

the

treble

sound

of

your

system.

In

contrast,

rooms

without

sound

absorbing

furnishings

or

with

bare

floors

and

walls

may

increase

treble

sound.

Turning

the

treble

control

up

or

down

may

reduce

these

effects.

In

general,

the

speakers

are

to

the

corners.

the

more

bass

will

produce.

By

keeping

this

rule

in

mind,

you

can

your

room.
