Setting Up Your Speakers

The space between the two speakers and the distance from the listener is important. If the speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be fully developed. YU Passive is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 8” from the rear wall in an average listening room.

However, it may not be possible to install the speakers in this position and since rooms vary in shape, size, and furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary to determine the most suitable position. Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the Kanto YUP4W YU 4 Inch Passive Desktop Speakers close to or in the corners of the room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low and middle frequencies.

If the width of the rear wall is limited then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce reflections. Room characteristics and positioning have a profound effect on the performance of the speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum positions will be rewarded.
