SPEAKER PLACEMENT
SUBWOOFER
SURROUND SPEAKERS
5
–6 ft
(1.5–1.8m)
FRONT
SPEAKERS
0–2 ft
(0–0.6m)
The front speakers should be
placed the same distance
from each other as they are
from the listening position.
They should be placed at
about the same height from
the floor as the listeners’
ears will be, or they may be
angled toward the listeners.
The center channel speaker
should be placed directly
above or below the televi-
sion, and no more than two
feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right
speakers. It is often con-
venient to set the center
speaker on top of the tele-
vision set, as shown in the
drawing.
The surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face
each other and be at a
level
higher than the listeners’
ears.
If that is not possible, they
may be placed on a wall
behind the listening position,
facing forward. Additional
satellites may be purchased
separately for use in 6.1- or
7.1-channel systems.
Generally, it is best to aim
all of the speakers (except
the subwoofer) toward the
listening position at about
ear-level height.
The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer
is mostly omnidirectional,
and this speaker may be
placed in a convenient loca-
tion in the room. However,
bass reproduction will be
maximized when the sub-
woofer is placed in a corner
along the same wall as the
front speakers. Experiment
with subwoofer placement
by temporarily placing the
subwoofer in the listening
position and moving around
the room until the bass
reproduction is best. Place the
subwoofer in that location.
