Speaker Setup For Optimum Performance

Room Placement:

1.

Place both speakers against the same wall facing forward. NOTE: do not angle

speaker inward or outward. The design of SDA speakers require that they are

placed parallel to a common wall and to each other.

2.

Consider these distances when placing your speakers (see diagram below):

X – listener distance from speakers

Y – speaker distance from rear wall

Z – speaker distance from each other

S – speaker distance from side wall

Decreasing distance Y will increase bass response. Increasing distance Y will

reduce bass response. Your speakers will sound best when placed close to the

back wall. Front baffles should be at lease 2 inches forward of any obstructing

object, such as cabinets.

Distance Z should be at least 4 feet. Optimum spacing is 6 to 8 feet in most rooms.

If you have a live room (meaning lots of hard surfaces, not too many sound

absorbing materials such as curtains, cushions, etc.) your SDA speakers will sound

best placed closer together; experiment to find your perfect placement

Distance X should be greater than or equal to distance Z.

Distance S should be at lease 3 feet to prevent interference with 3-dimensional imaging.
