3. 1 pc bass reflex plug User manual Logotype Rubber feet This chapter contains common information on loudspeaker placement and installation No matter how good the equipment is in the wrong listening environment it will inevitably sound bad There are some basic rules concerning a proper loudspeaker installation Carpets curtains and soft furniture absorb midrange and high frequency sound and this is preferable Big empty area on the contrary reflects it and produces a hard sound that may lead to a blurry dialogue Apart from colouring the sound also the perspective of the sound will deteriorate Reflections in the room can roughly be compared to the reflections that yield ghost pictures on a TV screen Amplification of bass frequencies Furniture Room dimensions Placing the loudspeakers The front speakers Angling The correct height Cables Finally A loudspeaker that is placed near a wall ceiling or floor will be amplified in the lower frequencies in a sometimes not desirable way since it may lead to an indistinct sound recreation This amplification becomes even more obvious if the loudspeaker is placed near a corner Thus for a sound as clear as possible the loudspeaker should be placed about 30 cm about 12 inches away from the wall However there are exceptions from this rule For some type of walls rooms it may be advantageous to place the loudspeaker closer to the wall Be aware that fu
