LISTENING ROOM
Every room has a natural tendency to reduce certain frequencies and amplify others. This
« resonance » effect depends on the geometry of the room, objects and furniture presents (any
obstacle close to the listener will cause reflections that will deteriorate the stereo sound). To get the
best possible sound, here are a few advices:
• Use a larger room (the bigger it is, the better the bass will sound).
• Use damping material on your walls (fabric or other) and try not to leave a window without curtain.
• Avoid having floor and ceiling both reflective (use carpeting or specific damping material on the
ceiling).
• The wall behind the front speakers should be reflective to obtain a large sound stage.
• The side walls should be symmetrical to avoid any distortion in the stereophonic image.
• The back wall should be damping to limit the sound space.
CABLES AND SPIKES
To improve the quality of your Hifi or Audio/video system, it is recommended to use high quality
cables. To get a sufficient energy transmission level between the amplifier and the speakers, it is
necessary to use at least a 2.5 mm² cable. For the best performance, you can use high definition
cables.
Spikes are used to help have a clearer bass sound. They should be used on concrete with carpeting,
marble or wooden floor.
