Audiophiles invest hoards of cash into
high-end speakers, but what good is
the equipment if you don’t get the best
out of it?
There are few crucial things to be kept in mind when installing speakers. Firstly, you must fi nd a right spot to place them. An ideal place is the living room; it has a rectangular or quadratic fl oor space, and usually, the TV and the couch face each other. However, in many cases, the layout or placement options of furniture might vary. In such cases, position the speakers where the front speakers are facing your seating arrangement and on either side of the TV, and the rear speakers are at either side of the seating. If you have a center speaker, place it close to the TV.
The placement of the subwoofer does not hold much importance as the ear can hardly locate the low-frequency sound waves it transmits. Ensure that you don’t mismatch the speaker cables with their connectors; minus sign always connect with minus, and plus goes to plus. If a speaker is connected wrongly, it may lead to local frequency obliteration, leading to unsatisfactory sound quality. The proper length of cables is also a determining factor. While a few centimeters should not matter, there should not be a major difference (2 or 3 meters) in the length of cables of each speaker. All speakers should have the same length. If one cable is much longer, you can always tactfully hide it behind the cabinet or the speaker shelf. High-Fi stereo systems cope with different signal runs either automatically or manually.
There are further requirements for the cables in terms of cable cross-section and material. We recommend the normal cabling meant for a living room, i.e. 1.5 to 2.5 mm² cross-section and copperstrand wires. A thicker cross-section and usage of special metals (silver, gold) is not at all necessary. When everything is in place, you must also prevent the possibility of the sound from the box reaching the floor, which can result in uncontrollable sound.
