Placement (cont.)

Listening Room Placement

Follow these guidelines for proper placement. (Refer to Ideal SR30THX Placement diagram.)

Height

Place the surrounds at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor, yet 12 inches (30cm) from the ceiling. Higher is better.

Placement

On the side walls, center surrounds to the listening area.

Boundaries

Keep the surrounds at least 12 inches (30cm) away from an adjacent wall or a large obstacle.

7.1 Mode Placement

This option provides the greatest flexibility for speaker place- ment. Please use the 7.1 Mode Placement diagram and 7.1 radia- tion patterns (Fig. 1C), as guidelines for placing the SR30THX ’s. Keep in mind as you move the speaker forward or backward from the seating area, you are actually aiming a section (or half) of the speaker at the listeners and creating a more direct sound field. The other section of the speaker will be aimed at the rear or front wall, thus creating a diffuse sound field for that channel.

Coverage Area

In larger spaces, we recommend using one surround speaker system for every three rows of seats (approximately 10 inches between surround speakers).
