Optimal Speaker Placement for Boston Acoustics VR Home Theater Systems

How to Place Your Speakers

The VR speakers were designed to deliver exceptional bass extension and tonal balance, regardless of where they are placed. However, for optimal results, it is advisable to position the rear of the speaker to be at least 3 inches (76mm) away from the wall or curtains that are behind it. The speakers should also be at least 2 feet (0.6m) from the corners of the room. Putting the speakers too close to a corner can produce an unnatural bass reinforcement that detracts from their balanced, uncol- ored sound. For optimal bass performance when a speaker must be placed in or near a corner, position it so that the dis- tance to the side wall is different than the distance to the rear wall.

Most people like to hear a realistic soundstage, as they would from a good seat in a concert hall. To achieve this effect, place the speakers 6 to 12 feet (2-4m) apart, so they form a triangle with your favorite listening position. If your listening position happens to be less than the distance that the speakers are apart, then you may prefer to “toe-in” the speakers slightly.

Place the VRC center channel speaker as shown below, with the front of the speaker ﬂush with the front of the television. The VRC is specially tuned to sit atop of a large, ﬂat TV screen. This is quite important, since the TV screen surface acts as a large baffle that can alter a speaker’s sound, degrading both dialogue and music. Four self-adhesive rubber feet are pro- vided to protect the TV’s ﬁnish and prevent vibration.

Listening Room Considerations

The listening room’s dimensions, furnishings and wall types all contribute to the way a loudspeaker sounds. If your room is square (same length and width), you may experience low frequency standing waves that can reduce overall clarity. Experiment with different placements and toe-in to avoid this. Also, the more fabric material there is in a room (curtains, sofas, carpets, etc), the more that high and midrange frequencies will be dampened. Conversely, the more exposed bare walls there are in the room, the brighter the speakers will sound. Thus, you may also want to experiment with speaker place- ments with these considerations in mind.
