RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

seatedinthelisteninglocation.

Usage-Specic Recommendations
Bookshelf Speakers
To use the Joan Bookshelf Speakers as bookshelf speakers, the two
speakers need to be at the same hight as different heights of the speak-
ers can result in degrading sounds quality. Try to place the speakers
as close to the ear level as possible no matter the listening area is at a
seatedlevelorstandinglevel.
Stereo Speaker on Stands
Likewise, please make sure that the speakers are positioned at the ear
levelofalistenerwhentheyareusedwithspeakerstands.Therefore,
speakerstandswith aproper heightshould be used.To calculatethe
perfect ear level, measure the height of the listener’s ear when seated
inalisteningarea,thensubtract15cm.Forinstance,ifthelistener’s
earis100cm.fromtheoorwhenhe/shesits,theappropriateheightof
