Speakers and Speaker Placement

Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER.You may also be using a subwoofer.

You will probably use your present stereo speakers as the MAIN SPEAKER pair. The front effect and rear effect do not need to be equal with the MAIN SPEAKERS, although the center speaker should be as close as possible. They should have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of the DSP system or the external amps that will drive them.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.

Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the

MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.

Place the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS behind your listening

 

 

position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.

Main speaker

Effect speaker Center speaker

Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.
