Speaker
Placement
Although
your HD6 speakers are very forgiving
with
regards
to
placement,
it's true
that
proper speaker
location
can
have
an
impact on sound quality.
There seem
to
be different theories on correct speaker
placement
but
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.
