SONANCE MERLOT® M
Speaker Placement
When selecting mounting locations for your speakers you should consider such things as your primary listening location, the primary use for the speakers
Stereo Speaker Placement
•Place the left and right speakers anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart, with the main listening position as close to midway between the speakers as possible.
•The speakers should be 38 – 42 inches from the floor and at least 18 inches away from the side walls.
•The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet away from the speakers.
•In most cases pivoting the tweeter of each speaker directly towards the main listening position will help maximize the stereo soundstage.
Use the left and right speaker placement in Figure 1 as a guide.
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
•Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42 inches from the floor (which corresponds to the height of your ears when you’re seated on a couch or chair).
•If possible, locate the left and right speakers at least 18 inches away from the side walls.
•Locate the center speaker as close to the same height as the left & right channel speakers as possible. If you must place the center speaker above or below a video screen, we recommend placing it no more than 2 feet above or below the center of the left and right speakers. This will help maintain consistent tonality between all three front channel speakers.
