The Front Speakers
You should closely follow the placement recommenda-
tions of your speaker manufacturer, with the addition of
the following points:
• The left and right front speakers should be positioned
so that your TV is exactly centered between them. This
will help focus your attention towards the screen.
• For the best overall imaging, the left speaker should be
set exactly the same distance and angle away from your
listening position as the right speaker. It is recommended
that you use a tape measure to set them up to be the
same distance away, within about half an inch tolerance.
If you have a smaller TV, the speakers should be no more than two feet away from the sides
of the TV. If possible, have the center, left and right speakers at the same height (within two
feet). This will help give a smooth transition when sound effects move from speaker to speaker.
Ideally, the speakers should be no closer than two feet from the rear and side walls, in order
to reduce any reflections that might upset the imaging. If your speakers are closer than this,
you can experiment by adding sound deadening material such as drapes on the walls to
reduce any unwanted reflections.
The Center Speaker
Most movie dialog will come from the center speaker,
so careful positioning is an important part of a good home
theater system. Your eyes and ears should focus your
attention towards the center of the screen.
The center speaker can sit on top, or directly under-
neath the TV, as long as it is located on the centerline
and not off to one side. Ideally you would try to maintain
a deviation from the center line of the speakers of less
than 12”. This means the center speaker will not be lower
or higher than 12” to the center measurement of the
LEFT and RIGHT MAIN speaker center measurements.
Position the front face of the speaker close to the front
edge of the TV cabinet. (The sound waves may otherwise reflect off the top of the TV cabinet
and distort the center imaging).
In some systems, two center speakers are used; one on either side of the TV. As they are in
mono, the result is a sound image that is positioned exactly at the screen center.
Whenever possible, place the center
speaker no more than 12” (25.4cm) above
or below the front speakers
Place LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT main
speakers at equal distances from the
listening position.
