SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loud- speakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not dimin- ish your listening pleasure.

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 listener’s ears will be, with the tweeters aimed toward the listener at ear-level height.

In a home theater configuration,

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 lis- tener’s ears. If that is not possi- ble, they may be placed in a wall (or in the ceiling) behind the listening position, facing for- ward. The surround speakers
