Positioning

5010 / 5020
The 5010 / 5020 loudspeakers are ideally mounted on Q Acoustic floor
stands and can also be wall mounted on Q Acoustic wall brackets. Stand
mounted loudspeakers should be treated as floorstanding loudspeakers
except that the loudspeaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall.
5040
The 5040 loudspeakers should be positioned at least 0.2m from a back
wall, 0.5m from the side walls and placed 2.0 – 4.0 m apart and equidistant
from the seated listener. Turning the loudspeakers slightly inwards will
sharpen the stereo image at the expense of a narrower sound stage.
5090
The 5090 loudspeaker should be positioned at least 0.2m from a back wall
and central to a TV screen.
Foam Bung
5000 series loudspeakers are rear ported and designed to work best
with at least 0.2m of free space behind them. Generally, the closer the
>0.5 m
loudspeakers are to the rear wall the more the bass frequencies will be
reinforced until they overwhelm the overall sound. In this instance closing
the rear port with the foam bung will tend to reduce bass, which is useful
when domestic circumstances demand that the loudspeaker is used
closer to a rear wall, as when wall mounted.
Ensure that the bungs are fitted snugly into the port but avoid inserting
them too far. You will find the overall level of bass is reduced but bass
extension and definition will be increased. The optimal position of the
loudspeakers will only be found through experimentation and by making
small adjustments during the first few listening sessions.
Loudspeaker positioning in a room is not an exact science. Even experts
will find it necessary to experiment. Try to achieve the best balance
between bass quantity versus quality and vocal quality versus intelligibility.
