Positioning speakers
Speaker placement plays an important role in the repro-
duction of Surround sound. The placement of the speak-
ers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall
coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an
example of a layout for standard speaker placement.
Refer to this example when you position the speakers in
order to experience the best of Surround sound.
Standard speaker placement
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be
installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not con-
nected, the sound from the unused channel is properly
distributed to the connected speakers in order to pro-
duce the best Surround sound possible.
Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the
seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center
speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing
the perception of the sound’s source and movement.
Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers
1 meter (3 feet) above the listener’s ear level and fac-
ing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the
listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle. These
speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while cre-
ating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power ampli-
fier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the sub-
woofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image
too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.
Refer to the speaker’s instruction manual for more details.
