Owner's Manual

Speaker Placement
Although
your
AS+
speakers are very forgiving
with
regards
to
where you
place
them, it's true
that
proper speaker
location can have
an
impact on
sound
quality.
Even
though
there seem
to
be
different
theories on correct
speaker
placement, rooms and tastes are
different
so
it's
difficult
to
recommend a perfect setup.
We
do
suggest you
feel
free
to
experiment
to
see
what
works for you.
As
a general rule
of
thumb
for
the
best soundstage and imaging, the
speakers
should
be equidistant from side walls
and a different distance
from rear
walls.
Tweeters
should
be at about eye-level
in
your
most
frequent listening location
and for
the
best
bass
response we recommend
at
least
6
inches
of
clearance between the rear
of
the
speakers and the wall
behind them.
Here are a
few
more suggestions, assuming you have some flexibility
regarding where you
place
your speakers. No need for concern
if
your
situation and listening environment dictate
the
speakers' position.
Both speakers should
be equidistant from your primary
listening position.
Placing
the speakers at
least 6 feet (1.8m) apart
usually provides the best
imaging.
Try
to
keep
the
speakers near the
front
edge
of
shelves
or
cabinets.
Allow
at
least 6 inches
of
clearance
between the rear
of
the
speakers and
the
wall or surface behind them.
If
you need
to
turn
the
speakers on their sides, position
the
tweeters
toward
the
outside. ·
If
used on a desktop
for
computer speakers, it's best
if
they are
placed
on a
solid
surface.
