LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

NOTE: STAGEFRONT LCR LOUDSPEAKERS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE IN FRONT LEFT, CENTER OR RIGHT-CHANNEL APPLICATIONS. FOR EFFECT CHANNEL APPLICATIONS, WE RECOMMEND USING A STAGEFRONT FX LOUDSPEAKER.

PLACING THE STAGEFRONT LCR AS THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS

In a home theater, the intelligibility of dialog and action reproduced by the front speakers is paramount! The position of each loudspeaker plays a very important role in how clear the sound is and how a stereo image is created. Here are some guidelines to make the process of placement quick and easy:

Make sure the sound will not be blocked or reflected off furniture or other objects. The listener should have a direct line of sight with the front of the loudspeaker. To determine the best position, measure the “listening” distance between the ideal listening position (e.g., favorite chair or couch) and the wall in which you plan to install the loudspeakers.

For stereo music applications, try to place the loudspeakers so that they are equally distant from the listening spot and at least one half of the listening distance apart to maintain a large pleasant stereo “image.”

In home theater applications where there is a center channel, you may choose to space the left and right main loudspeakers farther apart for a “bigger than life” sound with Dolby® encoded movies and TV shows. However, for combined music and movie usage, we recommend using the placement zone for stereo music. Ideally, if the listening position is 10 feet back from the wall, place the loudspeakers between 5 and 10 feet apart, as shown in Figure 1.
