SDA® 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. Y S Z S X
