Main speaker setup
LocaBon Bps
:
Pay special aZenHon to your “Front Three” Lea, Center and Right speaker placement
and calibraHon (See basic system diagrams Fig.2)
1.
Place “Main” Right (RF) and Lea (LF) speakers along your room’s front wall and
adjacent to your display/screen.
2.
Distance “W” should equate distances X, Y and Z, spanning the room to your
preferred viewing seats.
3.
PosiHon Right, Lea and Center speakers the same distance from your front wall,
and each at the same height.
4.
High frequency horns for your mains should be about “ear high” while you are
seated. Surrounds tend to be placed somewhat higher compared to main
speakers. Keep all speakers away from adjoining side walls.
5.
MounHng absorpHve “sound panels” on walls adjacent to your Right and Lea
Main speakers is an effecHve way to improve sound in smaller rooms, especially
where speakers are not far from side walls.
6.
Vary speaker locaHons during break-in.
Note
: Each speaker move must be
followed by system re-calibraHon.
7.
Front projecHon theaters may place center and/or main speakers behind an
acousHcally transparent screen.
Note
: Remove speaker grills for behind-screen
installs.

greatly
benefit from both

into virtually all Audio/Video Receivers (AVR) and theater audio processors today. Find
your AVR’s dedicated setup microphone and a tripod to ease your final steps. Insist
that your installer demonstrate your room calibraHon rouHne, outlined in your AVR
Owner’s Manual.
