DC265 / DC365 COVERAGE & SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Audio Imaging: Ceiling or wall speakers can be used as pairs for stereo or used in
multiples for 5.1 to 7.1
multi-channel applications. Ideally you should place the stereo
or front left and right speakers as directionally balanced as possible to the primary
listening area.
A common rule is to position the front speakers so that the distance between the
listening position and the wall is 1.5 times the distance between the two speakers, but
the speakers can be further apart if you desire a wider sound stage.
In a typical audio/
video multi-channel setup, the listening position is directly facing the video source (TV
or Monitor) and the center channel is on a direct plane with the listener. If the listener
is positioned 15 feet away from that video source, then the optimal distance between
the left and right speakers would be 22.5 feet apart (15'x1.5)
.
Sound Coverage and Speaker Placement
Listener
The speaker imaging decreases rapidly the further the listener is from the speakers,
so an equidistant speaker arangment for multi-channel installation is desired for the
best results. Try to equalize the speakers distance so the listener is basically in the
middle of the sound stage.
