System Setup

Left Front, Center, and Right Front Speakers

Place them at the same relative height and, if at all possible, a bit away from any walls. Some acousticians recommend placement far away from any walls but that may not be practical in your situation.

Most speakers sound best with the tweeter positioned at “seated ear height”; the same height your ears are when you’re ready to watch and listen.

Take care to aim the speakers at your prime viewing/listening position. That will probably mean that the center channel speaker will be aimed straight ahead while the left and right speakers are “toed-in” a bit.

Left and Right Surround Speakers

Put these speakers about 3' (1 meter to you metric Outlaws) above your “seated ear height.”

Mount them on the side walls of your listening room, preferably a bit to the rear of the prime seating position, if possible. Different authorities have dif- ferent ideas here but, if the speakers are at the right height, you can vary their placement from slightly behind to slightly ahead of your prime viewing/ listening position.

If your surround speakers are dipolar rather than directional, remember to ori- ent the arrows on the dipole enclosures properly. For speakers on the side walls, point the arrows to the front of the room (i.e., towards the video display).

Surround Back Left and Right Speakers

Note: These speakers are required for Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, a nd 7-Channel Stereo. They are also desirable, though not required, for DTS Neo:6.

Put these speakers about 3’ (or 1 meter) above your “seated ear height.”

Place them on the rear wall, behind the prime viewing/listening position so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees. If that’s confusing, try “dividing” the rear wall into thirds and placing the speakers at the 1/3 points on the back wall.

Dipoles placed on a rear or back wall should have the arrows pointing toward each other to achieve the correct acoustical image in the room.

If you’re using just one surround back speaker, center it directly behind your main viewing/listening area.
