Speaker setting examples

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

[1] Basic setting

Use this setting if your main purpose is to listen to movie music and when using one set (two speakers) of regular single-way or two-way speakers as the surround speakers.

•Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

•Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room.

•If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 cm above ear level at the prime listening position.

• Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the

same positions as in example [1].

• Set the surround speakers directly at the sides of the listening

position and 60 to 90 cm above ear level.

[2] Using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Path of the surround sound from the speakers to the listening position

• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and

realistic surround sound presentation.
