Motiv 6
Speaker positions in the 7.1 configuration
We recommend
you place the rear centre
speakers somewhere in the
grey rear area.
If you add a pair of MO 6 FCR satellite speakers
or MO 6 FR column speakers to your 5.1 system
(see page 7), you can make full use of a 7.1 AV re-
ceiver and expand your Motiv 6 set into a 7.1 home
theatre system.
Front · Centre · Subwoofer · Rear (Side)
The arrangement of speaker boxes follows the
same pattern as a 5.1 system. Please refer to
“Speaker positions in the 5.1 configuration” on
pages 8 and 9.
Rear centre
In an ideal 7.1 system, the rear effects speakers
(rear sides) are positioned on the side walls facing
the listening spot, and the rear centre speakers
are positioned on the rear wall (height: 0.70–2.10
metres). All three rear speakers should be roughly
at the same height.
If you picture a top-view geometry of your sur-
round setup, the four rear speakers should ide-
ally form an isosceles trapezium. Each side of the
trapezium should be at least 1.00 m long. If the
sides have differing lengths, or if the four rear
speakers are mounted at different heights, you
can compensate for such asymmetries by en-
tering the distances of the individual speakers
in the AV receiver's speaker management utility
(“Speaker Setup”).
