7 - CHANNEL HOME THEATER PLACEMENT

Try to apply as many of the following suggestions when using four Ellipse SUR speakers as your surround speakers.

Front surround speakers can be located directly to the sides of the seating or approximately two to three feet in front of the seating for better integration with the left, center and right speakers. The speakers should be oriented so the coaxial drivers face the front and rear walls of the room.

Rear surround speakers should be located approximately four to eight feet behind the seating and the speakers should be separated six to ten feet apart. The speakers should be oriented so the coaxial drivers face the left and right side walls of the room.

ALTERNATIVE PLACEMENT OPTIONS

In many installations the main seating will be against the rear wall of the room. In this type of room we suggest locating the speakers approximately two feet from the rear wall and spaced from ten to fifteen feet apart.

Locating the speakers in this way will provide a more diffuse surround presentation.
