WHERE – Speaker Placement

For home theater, wall speakers for the front three chan- nels create the illusion that the sound is coming from the screen, which makes the viewing experience more involving and believable. When you use ceiling speakers for the front channels, the sound appears to come from above the screen which is less believable. However, excellent results are still possible if you follow certain guidelines for placing the ceiling speakers.

1.Place the front speakers close to the same plane as the front of the TV as possible.

2.Tilt the tweeters so they aim at the prime listening position.

3.Align the center channel speaker with the center of the screen, and place the left and right speakers no fur- ther than 4 feet from either side of the screen.

SURROUND SOUND

If the prime purpose of the surround system is to watch TV and movies, the surround speakers should be placed to produce a diffuse sound field. Iso-Mount wall speak- ers should be placed to the sides or rear of the prime listening location, located 24 inches or more above ear level when the listener is seated. If this speaker location is closer than 24 inches from the ceiling, mount the Iso- Mount speaker baffle upside down in the wall frame with the tweeter away from the ceiling.

For TV and movies, ceiling surround speakers should be placed directly to the sides or rear of the prime listening position, but be aimed away from the listener to reflect the output off the rear or side walls. This configuration is also suitable for a TV/movie and music mixed use.

If the prime purpose of the surround system is to listen to music, the Iso-Mount wall speakers should be placed closer to ear level. Ceiling speakers should be aimed at the prime listening position.

Figure 3-C

Good for background listening. Stereo pair behind, above or to the sides of the main listen- ing area. Six to 8 feet apart, centered on the listening area. If in-wall speakers are at ear height when seated they will be more distracting because their high fre- quency response will be more prominent. The same is true for ceiling speakers located direct- ly over the listening position as opposed to off to the side a bit.
