ARENA 130/120 – SURROUND CHANNELS (5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM)
When you use these speakers as surround-channel speakers in
a 7.1-channel system, place the surround side speakers directly
to the sides of the listening position, at least 5 – 6 feet (1.5m –
1.8m) above the floor. Place the surround back speakers on the
wall behind the listening position, also at least 5 – 6 feet (1.5m –
1.8m) above the floor and 3 – 6 feet (0.9m – 1.8m) apart.

When you use these speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them slightly behind the
listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor. An alternate
location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call
attention to themselves while they’re playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient
sound accompanying the sounds that you hear from the front left, front right and center speakers.
If you are using the Arena 130 bookshelf as a wall-mounted surround solution, be sure not to block the rear
port opening.
