monitors have been designed for perfect
multi-channel music or movie playback. The following
diagrams indicate the ideal speaker layouts.
The constraints of room size and shape will often force
some loudspeakers to be placed closer or further from
the listening position than is ideal. In such situations the
time-alignment facilities of the surround processor or
monitor controller should be employed to compensate.
When bass management is being used the subwoofer
carries not only the LFE signal, but also the low bass from
some, or all, of the main monitors as well. The subwoofer
should be placed at the front of the room, and the optimal
position provides the smoothest low bass without boomy or
weak notes.
