Surround Sound Speaker Placement
Front Speaker Placement
The front speakers are arrayed across the front of the viewing/listening
area. These three speakers should be as equidistant as possible from the
center listener position and on a plane with the listener's ears.
Try not to position the center speaker closer to the listeners than the left
and right front speakers if possible.
The left and right front speakers are positioned at an angle of 45 to 60
degrees to the center-most listener. An angle nearer to 45 degrees is
preferred if the system is used primarily for viewing movies. This
position approximates the circumstances under which film soundtracks
are mixed. A wider angle, nearer to 60 degrees, is recommended when
the system is used primarily for listening to music.
The three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same
height, at or near ear level.
