Placement

HOME THEATRE

For FRONT channels:

 use the main speakers (Floorstanding (F) / Bookshelf (B) / Satellite (S) 

/ LCR (left - right) / LCRS (left - right)). Place one speaker on the left and another on the right, 

along either side of your video screen (TV, projection screen). Refer to the “STEREO” chapter for 

further information regarding front speakers placement.

For CENTER channel:

 use the center speaker (Center (C) / LCR (center) / LCRS (center)). 

Place the speaker horizontally at ear level while seated. If you have a TV mounted on wall, place 

the speaker slightly below it. If you have a TV on a table, place the speaker above it and angle it 

down towards ear level while seated (if possible). 

6.0/6.1 systems – place the second center speaker (rear center) on the opposite wall to the first 

one – at the same height and angle it  down towards ear level while seated (if possible).

The center speakers can be placed on bookshelves, speaker stands or hung on walls.

For SURROUND channels: 

use the surround speakers (Satellite (S) / Surround (S) / LCR 

(surround: left - right) / LCRS (surround: left – right)). The surround speakers can be placed on 

bookshelves, speaker stands or hung on walls. 

Place the speakers above ear level while seated, but no higher than ear level while standing.

5.0/5.1/6.0/6.1 systems

 –  place the right and left surround on the right and left side of your 

listening position or place them in corners behind your listening position.

7.0/7.1 systems 

–  place the right and left surround on the right and left side of your listening 

position. The two additional rear surround speakers should be placed behind your listening 

position. They should be placed at equal distances from your listening position, and about half as 

far as the right and left surrounds. All four surrounds should be mounted at the same height.

For BASS channel:

 use the active subwoofer. TAGA Harmony active subwoofers will add impact 

and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your TAGA Harmony dealer to learn 

more about the best option for your system. Refer to your subwoofer instruction manual for more 

information about your subwoofer placement.

Note: 

Final placement depends on home theatre system, room acoustics and space, and your 

listening preferences.

Satellite (S) Speakers

TAGA Harmony speakers marked as „satellite speakers” can be used in Stereo (as Left and Right 

speakers) and Home Theatre systems (as Front and Surround channels).

LCR / LCRS Speakers

TAGA Harmony LCR and LCRS speakers can be used in Stereo (as Left and Right speakers) and 

Home Theatre systems (as Front, Center and Surround channels).

Dipole / Bipole Surround Speakers

Certain surround speakers may have a Dipole / Bipole design with a set of drivers located on the 

either side of the speakers. When installing such speakers make sure that the speakers’ sides 

with the tweeters drivers on the top (over the mid-woofer drivers) face the front of the listening 

room.
