Want to make the best out of your speakers? If so, we have the best tips and tricks for you to get the best sound quality!

Find the right spot for your speakers

The first step should be to determine where you want to put your speakers. This is an important step that will have a significant impact on the sound quality of your speakers. There is a fine line between being too close and far away from the speakers. 

You should try to aim for around 3 meters distance. For example, if you use two speakers for your TV sound system, try to arrange the speakers and the place you sit in a triangle.

Use the ideal height

Not only the distance to the speakers is critical, but also the height. Try to keep the speakers on the eye or ear level. Be aware that in the case of a TV sound system, the speakers should be on the level you are sitting at during that time. 

With the speakers on ear level, you can enjoy a better sound.

Have enough distance to the wall

Do you feel like the sound is echoing in your room? This might be because the speakers are too close to the wall or furniture. Be aware, though, that some experts in sound and speakers are recommending putting the speakers close to the wall since it helps with the bass. This, unfortunately, doesn’t work for every speaker. 

We recommend trying and seeing how the sound, especially the bass, sounds.

Use the right surroundings

Are you hiding your speakers behind furniture? If so, this might be why you don’t get the most out of your speakers. Have a look around your room. Where are the speakers positioned? Is furniture standing in the way? If so, we recommend redecorating and leaving the speakers as far away as possible from the furniture.

We hope these tips and tricks will help you to get the best sound out of your speakers. You will be surprised how big of an impact a small change can have.
