2.3SPEAKER PLACEMENT

These illustrations show the typical speaker placement for a 7.1-channel surround system, the ‘.1’ channel being the LFE (Low Frequency Effect). The Front and Center speakers are directed towards the listener from the front, while the Surround speakers are positioned to the sides, and the Rear speakers are positioned behind the listener. Ideally, the Surround and Rear speakers should be positioned 2-3 feet above ear level.
