Not recommended:
when too close to the loud-
speaker the drivers - HF or
Mid/HF - are not summing
together properly at the
crossover point, which affects
the perceived frequency
response balance.

Recommended listening
distance: the direct sound vs.
reverbation balance depends
on the distance and on the
room acoustic damping prop-
erties, but in typical cases the
imaging is good.

Typical listening distance
in studio control rooms.
Loudspeakers Listening Distance Recommendations
The further away you
move from the loudspeaker
the more reverbation fields
dominates. The imaging
is less accurate and the
frequency response balance
depends increasingly on the
room acoustical properties.

8000 series needs venti-
lation and free air flow
around the speaker cabi-
net and sufficient openings
on top and bottom for
proper LF response.

Flush mounting into a wall
• Flush mounting removes edge diffraction
• Eliminates reflection from the wall behind
the speaker
• Increases LF speaker efficiency
• Provides higher system SPL and lower
distortion
