viewing room depending on how the system will be used. Regardless of exactly where
they are placed on either wall, make sure to locate them above ear level, so that they
do not directly radiate toward the listener. With surround speakers, some reflection is
intended before reaching the listener’s ears.
Your home theater preamplifier/processor may have additional suggestions for surround
speaker placement, especially if there are multiple surrounds (as in a 7.1 arrangement).
In general, a diffuse (rather than direct) surround speaker positioning allows your ears
to anchor primary sounds in the front which makes for a better overall home theater
experience. Keep in mind that these speakers may be physically located closer to the
listening position than the main front speakers so some adjustment to the output levels
and distance/delay may be necessary through the preamplifier/processor to reduce the
levels so the speakers do not seem as if they are making “echo” sounds when dialogue
is present.
Finally, try not to place furniture between your speakers and your listening/viewing
position. You have every right to expect a high level of sound quality from your AV123
ELT525 speakers. Make sure you can see them when you are ready to enjoy some music
or a movie!
