Speaker configuration and placement/ Connecting speakers

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

•Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

•Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

•Place the front left and right speakers the same distance from the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

•Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back left and right speakers

•For maximum effect of the new THX Ultra2 feature, place these two speakers as close together as possible. Dipolar speakers, however, should be placed apart the required amount (below right).

•Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipoles, the arrows point forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards each other to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room.
