a/d/s/ L210b Portable Speaker User Manual


 
Height
Try to place the speakers so they are close to the same height as your ears when you are seated in the
preferred listening area. Also be sure the speakers are high enough that the sound they produce will
not be constrained by
Separation
Start at your preferred listening position with the speakers at the points of an equilateral triangle, aimed
toward the listening position. (See diagram.) Experiment with moving the speakers closer together and
varying the aiming angle until you get the stereo image you prefer.
Speaker orientation
Stereo imaging is generally best when a speaker’s long axis is vertical, but horizontal placement is by
no means ruled out. Try the speakers both ways to determine if the difference in sound is important
to you.
Any of the a/d/s/ mini-speakers can be placed on a shelf or other solid surface. If the speakers are placed
on a shelf, put the supplied adhesive-backed felt pads on the bottom of the cabinets. The pads protect
the surface under the speakers and reduce the possibility of rattles or buzzes. The L210 and L310 may
also be used freestanding.
mounting the speakers
Before mounting the speakers in brackets, plan the mounting location and method very carefully. Follow
the speaker placement guidelines described in the instruction manual and decide on the mounting
locations. If you plan to hide the speaker wires behind the mounting surface, route the wires before you
mount the brackets. See the following section for information on wiring.
