Positioning the loudspeakers

Carry out the following steps very accurately, since the more accurate the physical arrange-

ment of the loudspeakers in the room, the more accurate the reproduction will be at the
listening position .
Distances Observe the recommended distances between the loudspeakers and your listening position

The acoustical axis is a line perpendicular to the loudspeaker's front panel along which
the microphone was placed when tuning the loudspeaker's crossover during design .
Pointing the acoustical axis, in the horizontal and vertical planes, towards the listening
position or center of the monitoring area will give the best measured and perceived
sound quality .
