Room Setup Suggestions
In order to obtain the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is important to
determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reflections
from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic
quality at the listening position. Experiment with speaker placement to determine which
location offers the best overall sound. As a general guide, use the room layout diagram
and the following descriptions when setting up a home theater system. Some speakers
shown in the diagram may not always be applicable to your individual system.
Front Main Speakers
As a starting point, place your front speakers at least 15 inches from the wall and 7-feet
apart from each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be
close to the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward
towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.
Center Channel Speaker
The center channel speaker should be placed in the center between both left and right
main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above
or below a television monitor. The center channel speaker may be placed in a horizontal
(lying down) or vertical (standing) position.
Rear Surround Speakers
The rear surround speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the
listening position. The listening position should be centered between the surround
speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround
speakers either towards or away from the listening position.
Subwoofer
In order to obtain the best possible sound from your subwoofer, it is important to
determine where the subwoofer will sound best in your listening room. Sound reflections
from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic
quality at the listening position. Experiment with subwoofer placement to determine
which location offers the best overall sound.
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and extension of the
bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close
room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound
louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.
Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the
bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were closer to a wall. Good results
can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3 feet from a corner.
Experiment with placement of the subwoofer and the sub-amplifier controls to achieve
the proper bass balance.
