If this angle is very different from the original angle that you used to establish how far apart the speakers were made you should re-adjust the distance between the two speakers. When it no longer sounds like a point source between the two speakers, the angle is too far out. Listen for the same time of breakdown in the center of the vocal. Turn the angle so that the speakers face the listener. When this occurs you have moved the speakers too far apart and should move them in slightly. As you move the speakers apart the vocal will become less defined, and ultimately will sound like it is coming from two separate speakers rather than a point in between. Listen to the vocal it should be well defined between the speakers. Vocals, particularly female, work very well here.
The method we find most effective is to start with the speakers closer together than they should be, gradually move them apart and maintain their pointing at the point marked (as described previously). There are some speakers that do not work very well with this speaker angle method, but most do, even planers. Aim the speaker at this point at all times while finding the distance the speaker should be from the side wall. So if the speakers are 10 feet from the listener, mark a point 5 feet behind the listener. Then mark a point that is half of this distance behind the listener.
In order to find the best location, measure the distance of the speaker to the listener. This can make things a little tricky, because if you are looking to maximize the soundstage you will need to change both of these simultaneously to get the best results. In general, the closer the speakers are together the less they should be angled in. Into the third parameter that will be set, which is how much the The first reflection when you move the speakers. To absorb the first reflection you need to be sure it is still absorbing The first is if you are using acoustical treatment on the sidewalls Quickly get a feel for what changes occur based on bringing the speakersĬloser together of further apart. The speakers all the way to the side walls and listen again. Listen at the recommended location and then take It isĪlmost guaranteed that this distance should not be the same as theĭistance from the back walls, as this will re-enforce a particular The second step is to determine the distance off the side walls. Bringing speakers together can create a more coherent image, but it also makes the soundstage smaller. For example, in general placing speakers closer to the rear wall will yield stronger bass, but generally at the expense of a clear image and soundstage. Ultimately, the absolute optimal results can only be found through listening, as there are so many interactions occurring in any room it is impossible to calculate all of them, including listener preference. First, for the best soundstage balance, the speakers should be equidistant from the side walls. However, digging deeper, there are a few finer points on placing your main speakers worth mentioning.
