soundtrack to create desired effects. However, in a home with a single pair of front speakers, this
surround effect will be lost, and jungle sounds may actually sound like they are emanating “from the

an array of surround speakers. Here are some recommended placement tips:
• Place the surround speakers near a hard reflecting surface, as shown in Figure 2.
The reflections will help one pair of speakers to sound like several. If possible, try
placing them near a corner (so that the adjoining walls will act as a powerful
reflector) to create even more reflections, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
