positioning
We recommend acuhorn giovane85 to be unpacked, assembled, positioned and levelled while consulting
our support. To enjoy the best of acoustic aspects of acuhorn loudspeakers always take care of careful
assembly and levelling. Your attempts with moving the loudspeakers about in a listening room will always
be rewarded with discovering fullness of the soundstage.
Acuhorn giovane85 loudspeakers should be placed "in the middle" of the room, they are not corner type.
Preferably, approx. 1,4 meter from side walls, 1,0 meter from a back wall, distanced 2,2 meter from each
other, in a line and parallel, without toeing them in. A listener ought to be distanced minimum 3,0 meter
from the line of the loudspeakers and at least 1,0 meter from the back wall.
You are dealing with dipol loudspeakers operating forwards and to the back and so while moving them
away from the back wall You will obtain airy sound and dipol solution will enhance. Setting the
loudspeakers as far apart as possible to keep them free standing still, the effect of grasping the
soundstage will increase thanks to acuhorn solution of phase correction. The scene will focus deep
behind the loudspeakers. The principle positioning is with the outlet firing to the back.
room acoustics
To result in the best performance it is indispensable to adjust the room acoustics. After connecting the
loudspeakers You may expect possible dumping alternations. When the sound seems too bright it may be
useful to add professional sound correction elements or carpets, curtains and sofas, etc.. Usually it
does not happen to have too damped listening room. Please pay attention also to breaking large flat
surfaces, like walls, ceiling and windows. They affect unfavourable reflection of sound waves without
dispersing. Should You change the acoustics of Your room it may be required to re-position Your
loudspeakers. Fresh and new loudspeakers taken out directly from the box require approx. 100 hrs to
break in. It is an appropriate time to introduce acoustics adjustments.
