Placing the Speakers

To fully enjoy surround sound, the configuration and placement of the speakers used are important. Be sure to read through the descriptions in the previous page and shown below.

This section provides the examples and descriptions that assume a typical situation.

Front Left and Right Speakers, and Center Speaker

•Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically and so

that the distance from the listening position is the same.

 

 

 

 

• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the

 

 

TV or screen

 

position of the listener’s ears where the listener sits to enjoy Front

music or movies.

•Place the three speakers so that the heights of the three speakers are aligned. The ideal height for the speakers is the height of the listener’s ears. When placing the center speaker above or below the TV, tilt it toward the listener’s ears.

•Place the center speaker as close to the screen or monitor as possible and in the center between the left and right front

speakers. When placing the center speaker near the TV, use a shielded speaker.

•If no center speaker is used, place the left and right front speakers closer to each other.

Left and Right Surround Speakers

•Place these speakers on each side of, or angled behind, the listener.

•Place the surround speakers symmetrically from the listener position and so that the distance from the listener is equal

between left and right surround speakers.

• When enjoying mainly movies, placing the surround speakers about 3 feet (1 m) higher than the height of the listener’s ears, results in more of a surround effect.

•When enjoying mainly music, placing the surround

speakers at the height of the front speakers may provide a better surround effect.

•When using surround back speakers in addition to the

surround speakers, placing the surround speakers slightly forward from their current position will make the sound movement smoother.

Surround Back Speakers

•Place the speakers about 3 feet (1 m) or higher than the height of the listener’s ears.

•When using one surround back speaker, place it behind the listener.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from each surround back speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the listener are about 30 degrees, forming an equilateral triangle of the listener and the two surround back speakers.

*When using a THX-certified speaker system, also refer to “Speaker Placement Suitable for THX Audio” on the next page.
