One pair of speakers should be located directly to the sides of the listening area (one on each
side, but you knew that).
An
additional
pair of
rear speakers
can also be added for
7.1
Surround Sound. If you prefer an ambient and subtle surround sound, such as a dipole speaker
provides, then locate either the
8" In-Wall or 8" In-Ceiling
speakers well above ear-level. You
can attain a more direct sound, like what monopole or bipole speakers produce, when placing
the
8" In-Wall
speakers at or slightly above ear-level. If some speakers need to be further from you
than the others, don’t worry, you can compensate for this later.
