HOME THEATER SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Today’s digital multi-channel home theater technology has elevated the art of “surround sound” to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home. Speaker requirements and placement are important when reproducing these multi-media effects.

Two front speakers (left and right), two surround speakers (left and right), a center-channel speaker, and a subwoofer define the minimum arrangement for multi-channel systems such as Dolby® Pro Logic, DTS™, and Dolby Digital. The CineMicroOne was designed as a matched system to give you the most realistic seamless experience possible.

Placement of speakers in your room will impact the final listening experience. To position your speakers, there are some general guidelines that take room size, shape, and fixtures and furnishings into account. Use the following illustrations as a general guide for speaker placement in a typical home theater system.

Front speakers should be placed 6-8 feet apart (or on the sides or your screen if your screen is wider) to fully separate the left and right channels. Whether placed on speaker stands or on shelves, your speakers should be at or slightly above ear level.

Rear surround speakers also should be placed at or slightly above your listening position for the best reproduction of surround-sound effects. Ideally, they should be facing into your favorite listening position from either side of the room.

Center speaker placement should be, if possible, directly on top of or under your TV monitor or projection TV screen. Center speakers should be placed in a horizontal orientation, directly below (or above) the center of your video screen. This correctly positions the critical sound track information (usually dialogue) that filmmakers direct to the center channel. Phase Technology center speakers are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with any TV’s.
