Positioning
The sound from loudspeakers depends very much on the room and on
the way they are set up. Please consult your dealer for advice on how
to set up your BØRRESEN loudspeakers in your home.
These are general guidelines that will give you a good starting point
for further experimenting to determine the ideal setup for your room.
A The distance from the side walls to the speakers N :
The BØRRESEN loudspeakers are not particularly sensitive to side
walls, so about 15 cm will be enough. Positioning the loudspeakers
too closely to the side walls, however, is likely to increase bass.
B The distance between the rear of the loudspeakers and the wall be-
hind them:
Begin with a distance of 50 cm. This distance should be exactly the
same for both loudspeakers. Test the loudspeakers out with music
you know to determine the distance that provides the best sound for
you.
Greater distance = less bass, more precise bass, better precision, and
bigger sound stage.
Shorter distance = more and softer bass, smaller sound stage.
C The distance between the loudspeakers:
The ideal distance between the loudspeakers should not be less than
3 meters.
D The distance between the loudspeakers and the listener O:
Place the loudspeakers at an angle so that the imaginary lines be-
tween the listener and the loudspeakers point towards the listener’s
shoulders. The lines should cross about one meter behind the listen-
er’s head. The loudspeakers are correctly angled when the listener is
just able to see the two inner sides of the loudspeakers.
