nnSpeaker Positioning for Super Audio Multi- channel Sound

In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound with the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to position speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Super Audio CD multi- channel discs are recorded and mixed so as to achieve the optimum effect with a speaker system laid out as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1.

• With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music

signals are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 - 6

channels sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for

subwoofer) is recorded as a sixth channel.

• Each disc indicates how many channels have been

recorded on it.

• The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the

Subwoofer

Front speaker (Left)

approx.110°

back since multi-channel discs usually have 5 channels.

The 2 front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear) speakers

should be set in a circle around the listening point. If using

speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from

the amplifier.

• The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for

explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in the

room. For connection and positioning instructions, see the

instruction manual that came with the subwoofer.
