Left and Right Front Speakers

Try to place the front speakers in the same plane as your TV (flush with the screen), separated by 45° when viewed from the seating position. They should be positioned at the same height as the listeners’ ears when seated. 28-inch stands will put your speakers at the correct height.

Center Speaker

A good position for the center speaker is right on top of your TV (or just below, if your TV is mounted high). Try to place the center speaker on the same plane, or slightly behind the plane formed by the front left and right speakers.

Surround Speakers

There is a bit of controversy about where the surround speakers should ideally be placed. Because of the precision that Digital recording techniques give to moviemakers allowing them to place sound effects at many different places, we believe that correctly placed direct radiating surrounds produce the most accurate surround sound field.

If possible, the surround speakers should be placed directly to each side of the listeners, not behind them. Placing the speakers a little above the listeners’ ears, or angled back slightly, can help to minimize localization effects.

The Subwoofer

The human ear cannot localize the long wavelengths of bass frequencies below about 100Hz. As long as your Aperion Audio Subwoofer is set at the recommended cut-off of 80-85 Hz or below, you will have a lot of flexibility as to where you place it. Keep in mind that placing a subwoofer near a corner will make it sound louder and can distort the bass response. If the distance from the sub to the listener is significantly different than the front and center speakers, try using the phase reverse switch to see it improves the bass response.
