Rear speakers

The rear speakers are responsible for the rear sound effects behind the listening position. When using the compact models Focus 110/140 as rear speakers, the speakers can be placed into a shelf, mounted at the rear wall or placed on a stand. This allows you a wide variety of placements, even if your listening room and furniture limit an optimal setup.

Corresponding to the surround format 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1, you need to install additional speakers (see Fig. 10):

15.1: The standard multi-channel setup with two rear speakers.

26.1: An additional rear center speaker is placed between the two rear speakers.

37.1: Two speakers are added on both sides between the front and rear speakers.

Subwoofer

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 placing the subwoofer close to the front speakers, but not too close to any walls, corners or furniture. This helps to sonically integrate the subwoofer in the existing surround channel setup.

Multi-channel loudspeaker setup

Thus, a complete multi-channel setup consists of following speakers:

1, 2, 3 Rear speakers (as explained above).

4Front (stereo) speakers.

5Center speaker.

6Subwoofer, possible positions (e.g. Dynaudio SUB).

Because there are many different setup options – 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 Dynaudio dealer for special applications and for placement options.
