Speaker Placement

Front Speakers	Surround Speakers	Subwoofer

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners.

Center-Channel Speaker

0-2 ft.

Stands are optional.

The center-channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the sup- plied support leg to aim it toward the lis- tener by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to angle the speaker down.

5 Ð 6 ft.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a dif- fuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-program material heard in the front speakers.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a con- venient location in the room. However, the best reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
