Every room is shaped and decorated differently, and is therefore presents unique
requirements for the positioning of loudspeakers. Your loudspeakers will function at
their best when placed on a flat, stable surface.
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 speakers be free-standing in the room to
avoid reflection from the back wall. However, for good results, the Mingus Quintets
should be no closer than 40 cm (15.7 Inch) from the rear wall.
Marten loudspeaker should not be placed close to a sidewall, as reflections from these
can disturb the depth of the sound image.
Due to their highly advanced technology, the Mingus Quintet 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 be toed 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.
On the back of each Mingus Quintet loudspeaker, you will find a knob that will allow
you to adjust the bass by 1 dB in four steps. Rotating the knob clockwise will increase
the sensitivity, and rotating it anti-clockwise will decrease the sensitivity. Experiment
with this until you are satisfied.
