Section 5.2—Left and Right Channels

Determining Front to Back Distance

The proper setup of the left and right channels is crucial for optimum system perfor-

mance. If these speakers are not set up correctly, the entire system will suffer from poor

integration. Please follow these steps carefully:

•Placethespeakerinanappropriatelocationrelativetoyourscreenandlis-

tening area. Make certain to remove the grills and spikes.

•Toethespeakersinsothatyoucanjustbarelyseetheinsideedgewhen

seated in the primary listening position.

•Usingremovablemaskingtape,graphoffthefloorsothatyoucanaccurate-

ly move both speakers forward and backward in 1/2 inch increments.

•Placeyourmulti-channelprocessorintostereomode.

•Usingapieceoffullrangemusic(dynamicwithalotoflowfrequencyin-

formation) played at a moderately high level, take notes on the sound qual-

ity. Pay specific attention to upper and lower bass quality, dynamic con-

trasts, image height, and focus.

•Movethespeakersbackorforwardin1inchincrementsandthen1/2inch

increments.

Note: Moving the speakers BACK will generally increase low bass, sharpen focus,

lower image height, and increase dynamics up to the point where you go too far,

in which case the sound will start to lose these qualities in addition to becoming

boomy and slow sounding. Moving the speakers FORWARD will increase air and

bloom, raise image height, and generally increase the sense of space. Moving too

far forward will cause the soundstage to become unnaturally high with a lack of

focus, dynamics, and low-end extension.
