Positioning Speakers

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.

Front

The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.

Surround

Place the left and right Surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle. These speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Subwoofer

Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it wherever it is convenient.
