4.9 Positioning the speakers
Speaker positioning in a multichannel home theatre system can noticeably improve the quality
of sound reproduced. Speakers are usually designed to perform best at a particular position.
This could be on the floor, on stands, near the wall or away from walls.
Below you will find a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers, but you should
also follow the instructions on positioning in the Instructions for use, supplied with your
speakers to get the most out of them.
General hints for positioning
• If possible, use the same model or brand of speakers for all front speakers.This creates a
seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances
that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front-channel speakers.
• Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner, as this will boost the bass tones too much.
• Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture etc. will reduce the treble response, thus
reducing the stereo effect considerably.The listener should still be able to 'see' the
speakers.
• Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities are often
limited.You can find the best position for your speakers by experimenting. In general, the
speakers should be arranged as symmetrically as possible in the room.
Positioning the front speakers
• Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• The front speakers should be arranged so that, viewed from the listener’s position, the
speaker connected to the 'L' terminals of the receiver is on the left and the speaker
connected to the 'R' terminals is on the right of the listener.This can be checked with the
balance control in the system menu.
• The best stereo effect is obtained when the two front speakers and the listener form an
equilateral triangle.
