It is a question of how the room receives acoustic energy and releases it again. You can improve the acoustics of your listening room in different ways. Part of the sound that you hear does not come directly from the loudspeaker. Instead, it is reflected from the floor, ceiling and walls. furniture , plants and carpets can reduce reflections. If the sound is overly bright, soft, absorbent objects like curtains and carpets can help. Both the quantity and quality of the bass depend on the size and shape of the room and the placement of the loudspeakers in it. For instance, bass can be boosted by placement near a sidewall and even more by placement in a corner. Wide Dispersion means that the area in front of the loudspeakers where a full three-dimensional sonic image is achieved is a great deal wider than with other loudspeakers. This ensures substantially better sound across a larger area within your listening room, when compared to loudspeakers without Wide Dispersion characteristics. In a stereo system, the speakers should ideally be placed the same distance from each other as the distance from each speaker to a central listening position. The ideal mounting height for DALI IKON PHANTOM is at the listener's ear level when seated at the listening position, i. For surround systems, the same guidelines as for stereo apply with the following additions: The center speaker should be placed exactly in the middle between the left/right front speakers. The rear speakers should be placed in same height as the front speakers. It is possible to place the speakers higher because of the good sound dispersion from the speakers. Please study and follow the safety guidelines found on page 2 and 4 of this manual! [. . . ] Be very careful when dusting off the driver cones and domes, as they are very sensitive.
