LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED
SOUND
• Since distributed sound is general sound throughout an area, place
the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible for even sound coverage
throughout the area.
• Place the left and right loudspeakers roughly the same distance from
the primary listener locations.
• To avoid “hot spots” where the sound is too loud, plan to use more
loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR TWO-CHANNEL
STEREO
Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the primary
listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The distance
from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be as close to the
same distance as possible.

Ideally, the distance between the left and right loudspeakers should be
slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR HOME THEATER
The front left and front right loudspeakers should be located on either side
of the video display, with their tweeters as close to ear level as possible.
• The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close
to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front right
loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.3m) video display should generally
not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.
• The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the
video display. Its tweeter should be no more than 2 ft (0.6m) above or
below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers.
• The JBL HDI waveguide will maintain even sound dispersion and a
high-performance listening experience even when the front in-wall
loudspeakers are installed above ear-level. This permits more flexible
speaker placement during installation.
5.1-Channel Speaker Placement
• In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located to the sides of the main listening
area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.

7.1-Channel Speaker Placement
• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of the main
listening area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.
• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround back left and surround back
right loudspeakers should be located on the rear wall, 3 ft – 6 ft
(0.9m – 1.8m) apart and at 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.
