Placing speakers for home theater
Although these speakers are sold in pairs, you can use
several pairs for home theater enjoyment.
• Place two of the speakers:
– with one on either side of your TV
– with the arrow pointing to the opposite speaker
– with each one AT LEAST:
- 2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
- 3 ft (1 m) from the side walls
- 6 ft (2 m) apart
• Place the third speaker:
– above the TV with the arrow pointing at the rear
wall
– at least 2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
• Place two other speakers:
– to the left and right near the rear of the room
– with the arrow pointing toward the side wall
(away from the other speaker)
– with each one AT LEAST:
- 2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
- 3 ft (1 m) from the side walls
- 6 ft (2 m) apart
(Place the sixth speaker (for use with a 6.1 receiver,
only):
– between the other rear speakers
– with the arrow pointing to the rear of the room
– AT LEAST 2 ft (.6 m) from the rear wall
Other considerations
• Placing the provided template against your ceiling
serves to determine the space needed for each
speaker.
• Using a stud finder is helpful in choosing a usable
space between joists. You need to allow 5
1
/2 in.
(13 cm) from the center of the speaker to a joist.
• If you are installing in a sealed space between joists, it
is important to optimal performance that the volume
of the space is at least 1 cubic foot (.028 m
3
).
• Avoid all electrical wiring, vents, and plumbing pipes
that are located above the ceiling. Check with a
trained professional to learn how to locate and
avoid them.
