6. MULTI CHANNEL SETUP

For a multi channel setup, in addition to the two main (stereo) loudspeakers, additional channels (speakers) may be added to reprodu- ce dialogue and surround effects. With the Confidence Center and C1, it is possible to achieve the same high level of performance and sound quality first realized by the C2 and C4 models.

The Center is responsible for the information directed from the middle of the screen and should be positioned between the right and left main loudspeakers. In a home theater/sur- round setup, the Center supports the images and should be placed as close as possible to the screen. With various surround formats, such as Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, etc., the Confidence Center can also be utilized as a rear center channel.

The rear speakers are responsible for the rear sound effects behind the listening position. Corresponding to the particular surround for- mat, you may have to add speakers on both sides between the front and rear channel spea- kers. In general, every Confidence loudspeaker

can be used as a main or rear channel solution, but the C1 is a perfect solution for a surround channel because of its compact size.

Most often a subwoofer will be utilized for the LFE-signal in such setups, especially in larger listening rooms. The position of the subwoofer will be dependent upon the size of the room and its acoustics. Dynaudio recommends pla- cing the subwoofer close to the front spea- kers, but not too close to any walls, corners or furniture. This helps make it easier to sonically integrate the subwoofer in the existing surro- und channel setup.

Because there are many different set up opti- ons - from 5.1 to 10.2 channel applications - and the fact that loudspeaker positioning will also depend upon the room’s shape, please consult your trained Dynaudio dealer for speci- al applications and for placement options and possibilities.
