Speaker Placement Tips
Tips Before You Begin
Read this section thoroughly. There are a number of ways in which it may seem aesthetically pleasing
to place speakers in a room that will ultimately result in a sound quality compromise. The placement
of speakers is equally as important as the room itself. While there may be very little you can do about
the room where your home theater is installed, you can choose placement of speakers within that
room to maximize the sound quality of the system. Ultimately, this will give a much better result
when you are enjoying your home theater and your new Emotiva DMC-1.
Overall, the best placement for front speakers is where the sound is directed at ear level. This means
that the speakers themselves can be in positions lower (like small oor standing speakers) or higher
(like in-wall or in-ceiling speakers) as long as the sound is “pointed” toward the listeners and preferably
around ear level. This is not necessarily the case with the rear speakers or the side axis speakers.
Read each of the sections carefully for the most appropriate positioning. A subwoofer is also a little
challenging to install depending on the room. In multiple subwoofer installations, the positioning
of the woofers to the listener as well as to each other is critical because there can be problems with
cancellation if optimum placement is not observed.
