Why is placement important?

The correct placement of your REL can drastically enhance its performance and transform your listening experience. Every room is different, in terms of size, material used in constructions, and reflectivity These factors make up the acoustics qualities of your room. As sound is being played through the REL, low frequency waves travel throughout the room bouncing of materials and the walls.  The distance and angle of the REL to the wall can greatly impact the way these low frequency waves travel around the room and reach your ear. Essentially, the room is an instrument itself and the REL like your speakers needs to be tuned to the room.
