IV. STEREO SETUP
POSITION OF THE SPEAKERS
The Prestige Facet loudspeakers have been designed to reproduce all types of music as
accurately as possible, provided that a few rules should be followed to optimise performance
and achieve a realistic sound image.
Ideally, the speakers should be placed symmetrically in front of the listening position to form an
equilateral triangle. The cabinets should be placed at the same height and the same distance
from the rear wall and the adjacent side surfaces.
In order to optimise the setup of the speakers in your listening room, we recommend the
following tests :
•Above all, you should avoid positioning the loudspeakers in the corners of your room. The
result will be an artificial increase in the level of bass, masking the speed and details of this
range.
•First, adjust the spacing of the two speakers in order to find the realistic balance between a
wide sound image (wide apart speakers) and a sound image respecting the punctuality of the
voices (close speakers).
•Secondly, move the speakers away from the rear wall by steps of 10 cm to find the balance
between the depth of the sound image (far from the back wall) and the level of the extreme
low frequencies (close to the back wall).
•Finally, adjust the loudspeakers orientation by turning them gradually toward the center of the
listening area. If you leave the speakers parallel, you may want to bring them closer together,
if you orient them more than 30°, you may increase their spacing.
Note : Floorstanding speakers (PF 14F BT) are naturally positioned at listening height, by their
dimensions. It is recommended to place the PF 6B BT speakers on legs in order to satisfy the
listening position.
