60° – 90°
Freestanding Placement
The M2 is designed so that when
placed directly on the floor, the
ears of a seated listener will be in
the center of the speaker’s vertical
coverage window, eliminating the
need to elevate the speaker.
In two-channel installations, the distance between the
right and left speakers is determined by the distance
from the listening position to the speakers – the further
away the listener is from the speakers, the further apart
the speakers can be placed. The unique geometry of the
M2’s Image Control waveguide enables the speakers
to deliver accurate high frequency detail, imaging, and
natural balance at nearly every listening position in a
typical listening environment.
To obtain the best stereo effect in a two-channel
installation, each speaker should be placed an equal
distance from the listening position. Placing the
speakers relatively far apart from each other can
weaken the “phantom image” of sounds intended to be
heard in the center of the stereo soundstage, such as
vocals. In such an installation, increasing the inward
angle (toe-in) of the speakers toward the listener will
improve the strength of the “phantom center” image.
