Appendix C: Speaker Configurations
Datasat Digital Entertainment is a pioneer in surround sound, with roots in the introduction of 5.1 digital
surround in cinemas and on LaserDisc in the early 1990s. Today, Datasat’s innovative range of home theatre
processors expands upon those possibilities, supporting up to 13.1 channels of immersive sound. This
document is a guide to speaker placement for today’s most popular sound formats, from 5.1 to Auro-3D 13.1.
5.1
The most common configuration for home theatre is 5.1, utilizing Left, Center and Right front channels, stereo
surrounds and a Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel (commonly routed to one or more subwoofers). Most
television broadcasts, Blu Rays, DVDs and streaming content are mixed and mastered for 5.1.
The surround speakers should be positioned to each side (or to the side and slightly behind) of the listening
position, between 90 degrees and 110 degrees. The ideal height for the surround speakers is for the tweeters
to be at, or just above, ear level at the listening position.
