General tips for setting up speakers Stereo triangle You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speakers. This means the distance between the speakers should be the same as the distance from your listening position to both speakers; in other words an equilateral triangle. Damping If your room... a) doesn't allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the back and side walls or... b) has highly reflective surfaces (i.e. glass windows or bare plastered walls) or... c) still doesn't sound quite right ...we strongly recommend that you 'damp' your room's critical surfaces. This can be done simply by adding curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on. A damped surface is almost always preferable to a hard reflective surface. Depending on the placement of the speakers, room size, sound reflecting surfaces, furniture, etc, it is entirely up to you how you fine-adjust the placement, angling and damping. Remember to take your time and use your ears. 6

General tips for setting up speakers
Stereo triangle
You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speak-
ers. This means the distance between the speakers should be the same as the dis-
tance from your listening position to both speakers; in other words an equilateral
triangle.
Damping
If your room…
a)
doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the
back and side walls or…
b)
has highly reflective surfaces (i.e. glass windows or bare plastered walls)
or…
c)
still doesn’t sound quite right
…we strongly recommend that you ‘damp’ your room’s critical surfaces. This can
be done simply by adding curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on. A damped
surface is almost always preferable to a hard reflective surface.
Depending on the placement of the speakers, room size, sound reflecting surfaces,
furniture, etc, it is entirely up to you how you fine-adjust the placement, angling
and damping. Remember to take your time and use your ears.
