Standard speaker setup for surround sound
● Front Right and Left speakers
These are the main speakers providing the front stereo effect of the sound image.
● Centre speaker
This produces a rich sound image by serving as a centre sound source for the front right and left speakers
thus enhancing the sonic movement.
● Surround Right and Left speakers
These add three-dimensional sonic movement and produce environmental sound associated with the
background and effect sounds for each scene.
● Subwoofer
Required to add powerful and heavy bass.
Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size, shape of your room and the wall coverings. Here is a
typical example of speaker placement and recommendations as shown.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front Right and Left speakers and Centre speaker
- Place these three speakers all at the same height.
- Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
- Try to place all the front speakers at the same distance from the listening position.
Surround Left and Right speakers
- Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
Ideally a subwoofer should always be located in front of the listening position between the Front Left and Right
speakers. Since all rooms vary, experiment with the placement of your subwoofer for the best overall sound
image (placing a subwoofer in the corner of a room often helps to disperse the sound).
