Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either
side of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3
feet above viewers. This helps to minimize
localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the
room, not down at viewers, to help create a
more open, spacious surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim
the speakers at each other (A), towards the
front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem
to surround you, rather than come from behind
you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each
other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or
to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed
upwards; they can go right on the floor, or
preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on
end tables (B).
