Speaker Placement
Pair A are bipole surround speakers, pair B and C are conven- tional surround speakers or surround back options.
The Front Speakers
You should closely follow the placement recommendations of your speaker manufacturer, with the addi- tion of the following points:
The left and right front speakers should be positioned so that your TV is exactly centered between them. This will help focus your attention towards the screen.
For the best performance when us- ing Sonic Holography, the left speaker should be set exactly the same distance and angle away from your listening position as the right speaker. It is recommended that you use a tape measure to set them up to be the same distance away, within about half an inch tolerance.
If you have a smaller TV, the speak- ers should be no more than two feet away from the sides of the TV.
If possible, have the center, left and right speakers at the same height (within two feet). This will help give a smooth transition when sound effects move from speaker to speaker.
Ideally, the speakers should be no closer than two feet from the rear and side walls, in order to reduce any re- ec tions that might upset the imaging. If your speakers are closer than this, you can experiment by adding sound deadening material such as drapes on the walls to reduce any unwanted re ections.
The Center speaker
Most movie dialog will come from the center speaker, so careful positioning is an important part of a good home the- ater system. Your eyes and ears should focus your attention towards the center of the screen.
The center speaker can sit above, or below the TV monitor, as long as it is located on the centerline and not off to one side.
Position the front face of the speaker close to the front edge of any TV cabinet. (The sound waves may otherwise re ect off the top of the TV cabinet and distort the center imaging).
