Speaker placement
Although Audioengine speakers are very forgiving with regards to
where you place them, it's true that speaker location can have quite an
impact on sound. There are many different recommendations for
optimal speaker placement but rooms and tastes are different so it's
difficult
to suggest a perfect setup. We do however, suggest you feel
free to experiment
to see what works for you.
Here are a few basic suggestions, assuming you have some flexibility
regarding placement. But no need for concern
if your listening space
dictates the speakers' location.
As a general rule of thumb for the best soundstage and imaging,
tweeters should be at
about eye-level in your most frequent listening
location.
Both speakers should be at
an equal distance from your primary
listening position.
Placing the speakers at least
4-6 feet apart usually provides the best
imaging and soundstage.
If you need
to turn the speakers on their sides, position the tweeters
toward the outside.
If used on a desktop for
computer or multimedia speakers, the more
solid the surface, the better
your speakers will usually sound!
