Place the front speakers the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. Place them at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be. You can also angle them toward the listener.

Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen. Its center should be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers. If you have a CRT television, it may be convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set.

Placing the Subwoofer

Subwoofer

Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. However, the best bass reproduction is likely to be heard if you place the subwoofer in a corner along the same wall as the front left and right speakers.

You can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various locations in the room while the system is playing, and listen until you find the location where the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

You should place the two surround speakers slightly behind the listening position, facing each other, 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) from the floor. An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves while they’re playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound from the front left, front right and center speakers.
