Loudspeaker Placement
Distance to back and side walls
Focusing the Loudspeakers
Toe-in
Every room is shaped and decorated differently, and is therefore presents unique
requirements for the positioning of any loudspeaker. Your Marten loudspeakers will
function at their best when placed on a flat, stable surface. As an option you are able
to buy a specially designed speaker stand for Duke.
The space between the loudspeakers should be free. Ideally, the space should be
symmetrical in the area around the loudspeakers. We recommend experimenting with
the placement of your loudspeakers in order to obtain the best balance, openness, and
perception of depth.
One of the things that make Marten loudspeakers different is that they have been
designed to stand relatively close to the back wall of your listening room.
Other manufacturers usually recommend that their loudspeakers be free-standing in
the room to avoid reflection from the back wall. However, for good results, the Marten
loudspeakers should be no closer than 40 cm (15.7 Inch) from the rear wall.
Marten loudspeaker should not be placed close to a side wall, as reflections from these
can disturb the depth of the sound image.
Due to their highly advanced technology, the loudspeakers will deliver excellent
imaging, even at a relatively close listening distance. The distance ultimately depends
on the room’s shape, size, and your listening taste. Please use track 2 of the enclosed
CD as a guide to focusing the sound image.
The goal is to have balanced sound. Ideally, you should be able to place the recorded
voice in the middle of your speaker arrangement. Ultimately, the shape, size, and
furniture in the listening room all influence the end result, so take some extra time to
experiment with the position of the loudspeakers.
The loudspeakers should normally have a slight toe in toward the listening area to
focus the sound. The amount of toe-in will depend upon your listening preferences
and the room environment and dimensions.
