Speaker Placement — Maximizing Your Enjoyment

Proper loudspeaker placement is an essential ingredient to getting the best sound from your high performance stereo, multi-channel audio or home theater system. The goal is to reproduce faithfully the audio soundtrack the movie director or music producer created without calling any attention to the speakers themselves.

Fortunately, it is a straightforward process that just takes some care and patience. Should you have a large room and the possibility to arrange the room as you wish or if you are designing a room for home entertainment refer to the diagrams shown here for ideal speaker placement. In this arrangement all speakers (except the subwoofer) are placed the same distance from the listener. In most cases, you’ll need to adapt your speaker placement to a given room that’s less than ideal. Here are a few speaker placement basics to keep in mind as you get started:

All distances are equal

5.1 surround speaker placement

All distances

are equal

6.1/7.1 surround speaker placement

A.You will generally get the best imaging and other spatial qualities if your front left/right speakers and your usual seating position form an almost equilateral triangle, with the speakers not quite as far apart from each other as they are from you. If you must sit closer to one speaker than the other, use the Balance control on your electronics (or the individual level controls on home theater channels) to give the more distant speaker a balancing boost in volume.

B.Our tower speakers are designed for optimal listening from the seated to standing position. For our monitors, we offer accessory speaker stands to achieve the right height if you are not using existing shelves or furniture.

C.The best high-frequency dispersion, producing the widest “sweet spot” in which you and others can sit and enjoy optimum high-frequency definition, will result when your main speaker enclosures are positioned vertically rather than horizontally. If you are placing your monitors horizontally, the speakers will still perform very well, but the seating area where you will enjoy optimum sound will become narrower. We suggest you position the tweeters to the outside away from the center line. You may prefer to tilt the speakers towards ear level using the adjustable levelers.

D.If you sit equally distant from both speakers, angling the speakers inward (“toeing them in’) about 5 to 10 degrees usually produces the best convergence of high frequencies where you listen. Different listening positions may require different toe-in.

E.Surround speaker placement is covered in Section 4. Beyond these basics, experiment with positioning for optimum performance. Please read the placement guidelines that follow. They are about the speakers, the room, and you.
