SPEAKER PLACEMENT

SAT2 USED AS REAR SURROUND SPEAKER

Typical Loudspeaker Placement

Figure 1 illustrates the most generally accepted speaker locations for a home theater system. Although there are an infinite number of set up options using Figure 1 as a template will certainly provide a great starting point. Experimentation with slightly different speaker locations may provide improved perfor- mance in your specific listening environment.

The front left and right speakers should form a 45 degree triangle using the center seating position as the apex.

The side surround speakers should be placed beside the listening area, and pointed towards each other. It is also recommended that the speakers be 2-3 feet above the listeners head. The SAT2 used as a center rear surround speaker should be placed behind the listening area and pointed toward it. The height should be the same as the side surround speakers

Left/Center/Right Front Speaker Height

One of the most important parameters for the left/center/right front speakers in a home theater system is height. Figure 2 shows the ideal arrangement of the speakers in relation to the viewing screen: all three speakers are aligned on the same horizontal plane. This establishes a firm image height when special audio effects are panned from one side to the other, such as a speeding car moving across the screen. When a large discontinuity occurs between the heights of the center front channel and the left/right front speakers, as depicted in Figure 3, the visual image of the moving object becomes confused and some- what unnatural due to shifts in image height.
