flat surface and the rear is the ’'vee'* surface with the angled

panels. This orientation of the speaker is important to obtain

the proper distribution and reflection of sound radiated from

the speaker. So, point the **vee*‘ toward the wall.

3. The distance of the speakers from the wail is very

important. For best results, the point of the “vee" should lie

from 12 to 18 inches from the wall - in any case never closer

than 6 inches or further than 24 inches.

4. If possible, keep the area between the speaker and

the wall relatively clear and open. The sound emerging from

the rear of the speakers must reach the nearby walls and re

radiate freely for the best results.

5. The ideal height of the speakers is in the range from

36 to 48 inches off the floor - the height of most musical in

struments during a concert. At a minimum, keep the speakers

12 inches from the floor.
