Making your music and movies sound better. Rules - like keeping speakers away from corners - will go a long way to It's not always easy to implement every step, but the basic
If you get that right, those overhead helicopters in films will finally sound like they're flying in a straight line. Each speaker should be the same distance from your listening position, forming a circle, as shown in the diagram (right). If you have surround sound speakers, place the centre channel exactly in front of you and place the side speakers at a 110-degree angle to the sides, following the same rules as described above.
This stops your desk becoming a huge bass speaker itself, which seems like a grand idea but really isn't. If your speakers are on a desk, rest them on some foam, if you have any. The highest sounds emanate from the tweeter in a really straight line, so point this at your ears if you want your music to shimmer. Notice the smaller speaker cone, called a tweeter - this is where the shiny bright parts of the music come out. If you have speaker stands, adjust the height so the speaker is level with your head and above 1.2m. Got a sub? Put it at least 30cm from a corner don't place it in the dead centre of a wall. If you have a smaller room, try to leave as much space as you can between the wall and the speaker - up to 1m - and do not place them too close to the wall either as the bass doesn't play well. There's a zone between 1m and 2.2m that ideally you want to avoid. If you really do have a huge room to work with, pull the speakers away from the wall. It can help to place a small marker at your listening position and work it out from there. Dust off your old protractor and position the speakers 60 degrees apart. Positioning the speakers at a 60-degree angle gives you the best 'stereo image' of these sounds. Music is generally released in stereo, which means the sound is spread between the left and right speakers. Your speakers will sit within the first third of the room and more than 1m from the side walls. Imagine dividing the length of your room by three. If your room is a rectangle, the speakers will ideally face the length of the room, so place your desk by the shortest wall. If not, you'll still pick up some sound knowledge. The following makes the assumption that you sit in front of your speakers at a desk and have plenty of room to play with. So this guide is intended for any self-respecting music fan worth their iTunes collection, who wants everyīeat to sound as good as the artist intended.
Musicians and producers pour months of effort into creating their work. Either way, there's one method of improving the sound of any speaker: it's all about placement. Others among you make do with what came packed with your stereo. Some of you might have the luxury of being able to buy speakers so good they'd be worth passing down to your grandson.
