It is no industry secret that, when it comes to hi-fi, proper system set-up is nearly as important as the components in the system itself. One of the most integral elements of system set-up is speaker placement. However, once your loudspeakers are perfectly placed, that rarely means your set-up days are gone for good. A hi-fi system is an interconnected entity. Every change that you make to it, whether you upgrade amps, your rack, cables, or any other component, affects the sound, and as a result, adjustments to speaker placement must be made.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At Nordost we are in the business of making your sound system perform its absolute best. As a way of accomplishing that, for years we offered a system tuning and set-up disc. \u00a0Recently, we launched the System Solution<\/a>. This revamped, two-disc set-up tool <\/span>both improves and expands upon our initial product, offering more content and features, including a unique mix of diagnostic tracks, calibration tools, and system conditioning aids to help with <\/span>every<\/span><\/i> aspect of system set-up. As a supplement to our original set-up disc, we provided a wildly popular, and helpful \u201cSpeaker Placement Guide\u201d. However, when we introduced the System Solution<\/span>:<\/span> Set-Up & Tuning Discs, we thought that an update to the guide was also in order! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are familiar with Nordost\u2019s original \u201cSpeaker Placement Guide\u201d, you already know that it provides readers with instructions to execute several speaker placement methods widely-used by hi-fi dealers, professional audio installers, and manufacturers. Now, in the newly expanded \u201cSpeaker Set-Up Guide<\/a>\u201d, we have taken loudspeaker set-up even further \u2014 sharing our 6-Axis Approach to optimizing speaker positioning. This approach addresses the minor tweaks in fore and aft, sideways, and vertical positioning as well as toe-in, rake, and azimuth angles, which are crucial to accomplishing the ever-important finishing touches in speaker placement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you are setting up your system for the first time, need to re-tweak your speaker placement after making upgrades over the years, or simply want to fine-tune what you have, our new “Speaker Set-Up Guide<\/a>” serves as the perfect manual to optimize your sound system.<\/span><\/p>\n
