Room Setup Suggestions, Front Main Speakers

Room Setup Suggestions

In order to obtain the best possible sound from your subwoofer and speaker system, it is important to determine where the subwoofer and speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality at the listening position. Experiment with placement to determine which location offers the best overall sound. As a general guide, use the room layout diagram and the following descriptions when setting up a home theater system. The subwoofer and speakers shown in the diagram may not always be applicable to your system.

Front Main Speakers

As a starting point, place your left and right tower speakers at least 15 inches from the wall and 7-feet apart from each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.

Center Channel Speaker

The center channel speaker should be placed in the center between both left and right main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above or below a television monitor. The center channel speaker may be placed in a horizontal (lying down) or vertical (standing) position.

Rear Surround Speakers

The 2-way bookshelf speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.

Subwoofer

In order to obtain the best possible sound from your subwoofer, it is important to determine where the subwoofer will sound best in your listening room. Sound reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality at the listening position. Experiment with subwoofer placement to determine which location offers the best overall sound.

Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.

Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were closer to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with placement of the subwoofer and the sub- amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.
