Configuració

Col·locació dels altaveus

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for achieving the best sound performance from your La Scala AL5 speakers.

• Stereo Imaging: For a classic stereo setup, place the speakers an equal distance from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
• Wall Proximity: While the La Scala AL5 is a horn-loaded design, avoid placing them directly against walls if possible. Experiment with distances from the rear and side walls (typically 1-3 feet) to find the best balance of bass response and soundstage profunditat.
• Acústica de l'habitació: Consider room acoustics. Hard surfaces can cause reflections, while soft furnishings can absorb sound. Adjust placement to minimize unwanted reflections and maximize clarity.
• Cap endins: Slightly angle the speakers inward towards the listening position (toe-in) to fine-tune the stereo image and focus.
