Imaging and Soundstage
If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP, the
performer should appear to come from behind the loudspeakers and
be at the appropriate height and size for a person. If it is not, there
are several remedies that will address this.

If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the
system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for
someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much
volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true
for too little volume.

If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, place
the speakers closer together and listen again. Place the speakers
no less than 5 feet apart. If the image is still too big, toe the

the speakers closer together and listen again. Place the speakers
no less than 5 feet apart. If the image is still too big, toe the
speakers in by a slight amount.
Conversely, if the image is too small, move the speakers apart.
The speakers should be no more than nine feet apart. Repeat
this process till you have it right. If the voice is too low in height,
turn the midrange control up (turning the knob clockwise) and the
image of the voice will move upward slightly. However, this will also
at the same time make the speakers sound more forward.

If you have the speakers 20% of the way into the room, and you are
not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing
behind the speaker enough) pull the speakers away from the front
wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough
away, you may not have enough front to back depth. However,
slightly more than 1/3 of the way into the room is about as far as
you want to go. Pulling them half-way into the middle of the room
is unlikely to help (and probably incur the wrath of your spouse).

Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space
requirements. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you
may angle the left and right speaker up to about 15 to 20 degrees
(toe-in) towards your listening position until you have a properly
defined center image.

If the speakers are too far apart you will lose the side image and if
they are too close together you will have too small a center stage. If
the speakers are far apart and toed-in significantly, you will find that
you will only have a small sweet spot in which to sit and enjoy your
