Determining Side to Side Distance
The distance the speakers are from the side walls is very important. This distance de-
termines the amount of comb filtering you will hear. In effect, you are “tuning” the comb
filter interaction between the speaker and the wall. Perform the side to side analysis as
follows:
•Placeapieceoftapeonthefloorparalleltothefrontedgeofthespeaker
and again mark off 1/2 inch increments side to side.
•Usingonlyonechannel/speakeratatime,nowdeterminetheoptimumpo-
sition with regard to side walls.
Note: A high quality, solo piano recording works well for this step.
•Whilemusicisplaying,slowlymovethespeakersleftorright1inchthen
1/2 inch at a time until you achieve the best harmonic integrity.
You should not need to move the speaker any more than one inch left or right from
the original location. Do this independently for each channel. What you will hear when the
speaker moves into the correct location is a reduction of hardness and muddied harmonics
from the piano.
Note: If you continue moving the speaker past this point, you will begin to hear again
this fatiguing artifact.
When you have determined the optimum location for each speaker, mark it carefully,
and make certain the toe-in is correct. When installing the spikes, the speakers may shift
slightly, but you can move them precisely back to the correct location again using your
tape markers.
