MS308 Subwoofer
The positioning of your MS308 subwoofer will affect the
quantity and also quality of the lower frequencies of the
system. Locating the subwoofer near a wall will increase
the bass response of the speaker. If it is placed too near to
a corner however, the overall effect may be too 'boomy'.
Due to the low frequency nodal characteristics of the room,
the response will change as it is placed a little closer, or
further away from the listening position. Adjusting the rear
panel controls (as explained in previous sections) will also
affect the sound, so the answer is to experiment and find
the position and settings that provide a good balance
between low frequency amount and definition across a
range of source material.
MS302 Front Left and Right Loudspeakers
Your MS302 front left and right speakers should be placed
equidistant to the left and right of your screen far enough
apart to ensure good stereo imaging. If they are too far
apart or too close to the corners of the room they will sound
distracting and distant. It may be desirable to experiment
with the 'toe-in' of the units (angling them towards the
listening position) to optimize the front speaker soundstage
and imaging.
MS302 Rear Left and Right Loudspeakers
Your MS302 rear left and right speakers should be situated
roughly at listening height and facing into the listening
position. It is suggested that they are wall mounted or
alternatively placed on suitable speaker stands.
MS304 Centre channel Loudspeaker
Your MS304 centre channel speaker needs to be
positioned directly above or below your screen, facing the
listening position.
