ROOM ACOUSTICS Paradigm Monitor SE Series speakers are designed to provide exceptional sound in a wide variety of domestic settings. However, it is important to note that listening room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part in the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve. Your listening room will impose its own character on the performance capabilities of any speaker system. The extra care you take in correctly positioning the speakers will result in greater listening enjoyment. Keep the following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best speaker placement: • Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings in your room-curtains, carpets, sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound. The same room without any soft furnishings can produce an overall bright sound. The typical quantity of soft furnishings found in most living environments provides the right acoustic characteristics to allow the speakers to sound balanced; • Concrete floors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing wave problems and are less preferred; • Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be avoided as they can exhibit significant low-frequency standing wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible, experiment with speaker placement to minimize acoustic problems.

Paradigm Monitor SE Series speakers are designed to provide
exceptional sound in a wide variety of domestic settings. However, it
is important to note that listening room construction, dimensions and
furnishings all play a part in the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve.
Your listening room will impose its own character on the performance
capabilities of any speaker system. The extra care you take in correctly
positioning the speakers will result in greater listening enjoyment. Keep
the following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best speaker
placement:
•
Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings
in your room—curtains, carpets, sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess
of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound. The same room
without any soft furnishings can produce an overall bright sound. The
typical quantity of soft furnishings found in most living environments
provides the right acoustic characteristics to allow the speakers to
sound balanced;
•
Concrete floors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing
wave problems and are less preferred;
•
Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be
avoided as they can exhibit significant low-frequency standing wave
problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible,
experiment with speaker placement to minimize acoustic problems.
