Positioning Center and Surrounds

Center Channel Positioning

The P-27C is a dedicated center channel speaker that should be placed as close as possible to the center of your video display. In installations with large projection or display screens, the speaker is traditionally placed immediately below the screen and positioned with an upward tilt. (See the section on “Fitting the Spikes” for more information.) The degree of tilt will depend on many factors, including the size of your video screen and the distance to your listening/viewing position. The center channel should also be placed equidistant from the left and right main channel speakers.

Surround Channel Positioning

			The P-27S is a dedicated surround channel
LFE 2		LFE 1	speaker that is used to provide sound for
			the rear effects channel of a digital sur-
L	CENTER	R	round system, or as additional speakers
			in a multi-channel music configuration.
			The placement of the speakers will vary
			depending upon the installation and
			the type of system configuration. The
			P-27S is designed to be wall-mounted
			and includes mounting provisions on the
			back. Make sure you use an appropriate
			size screw head and that it is anchored
			securely to a wall stud or wall anchor with
SL		SR	suitable weight-bearing capacity. Never
			use the wall bracket for mounting the
			P-27S to the ceiling.
SL (alt.)		SR (alt.)	For 5.1 systems, the surround speak-
or SBL		or SBR	ers are traditionally placed directly at or

just slightly behind the sides of the listening / viewing position. They should be placed approximately 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) above the floor. This distance can vary depending on the configuration of your room.

For 7.1 systems, the left and right side surrounds would be positioned as described above for a 5.1 system. Two additional speakers would be added on the back wall of the room and should be placed relatively close together. In most cases, you should position them from 12”-48” (1-1.2m) apart. They should be placed at the same height as the side surrounds.
