Russound Acclaim OutBack Rock Speaker Installation Manual

Placement of Speaker Pairs

The best stereo imaging can be achieved by placing rock speakers no closer

than 20 feet next to one another. The sound propagation outward from the

face of the speaker is ideal within a 20 to 30 foot range. The rock speakers can

certainly cover larger areas but as the distance between adjacent speakers

increases, the stereo imaging starts to deteriorate. As the distance between

opposing speakers increases beyond the 20 to 30 foot range, the volume level

to cover the whole area can reach uncomfortably loud levels when the listener

moves closer to the speakers.

Large areas are better served by monaural audio instead of stereo. In most

outdoor environments, there is no ideal listening area to give stereo image or

separation.
