Chapter 4-1 Speaker Placement Page 6
SV Sound
Location, location, location: Properly set up in a typical
home, your SVS speaker package, backed by a high quality subwoofer, will provide startlingly realistic reproduction of any sort of music or movie soundtrack.
Take time to carefully unpack everything. Look thoroughly in each box. Locate all the items you’ll need to proceed to installing your speakers (tools, wire, wall brackets, SPL meter, etc.). Save the box and shipping materials, just in case you need to return a component or move your system to a new home.
Where you put your speakers can be just as key as how well they are designed! Discussions in this section of your manual are meant to provide general guidance. We encourage some experimentation in placement as your time and room allows.
Later, we will also review your receiver or audio processor settings, and touch on DVD or CD player internal settings too, which can affect sound just as where you place your speakers will. In the final chapter we outline how to achieve a realistic blend between all your speakers and your sub.
Speaker Placement: Any speaker tends to benefit from placement spaced somewhat from rear or side walls. Ideally you should arrange to have all tweeters (the small element in your cabinet) at ―ear height‖, or tilted to point towards your seats. Attempt to place them so you sit an equal distance from each speaker cabinet.
