Speaker
Placement
Although the
AP4's
are
very forgiving, it's true that proper speaker place-
ment
can
have a big impact on sound quality. There
seem
to
be quite a few
theories on correct speaker placement
but
all rooms and tastes
are
different
so
it's impossible
to
recommend a perfect placement.
We
do
suggest you
feel free
to
experiment
to
see
what works for you.
As
a general rule
of
thumb
for the best soundstage balance the speakers
should be equi-distant from side walls and a different distance from rear
walls. The tweeters should
be
at about eye-level in your most frequent listen-
ing location and for the best
bass
response on Audioengine
P4,
we recom-
mend that you keep the front panel
area
around the
bass
port
slots clear.
• Both speakers should be equi-distant from your primary listening position.
• Placing
the
speakers at least 6 feet (l.8m) apart usually provides the best imaging.
• Try pointing them inward slightly toward
the
listening position.
•
If
you need
to
turn
the
speakers on their sides, position the tweeters toward
the
outside.
• Try
to
keep the speakers near
the
front
edge
of
shelves or cabinets.
• Keep the speaker wire away from power cords and signal cables
to
reduce potential
interference.
