Placing Your Speakers
to create the most realistic sound environment possible, you should place your speakers
in a circle with the listening position at its center. you should angle each speaker so it
directly faces the listening position. use the diagram below as a guide.

Placing the Left and Right Speakers
place the left and right speakers along the circle, about 30 degrees from the center line
and angled toward the listener.
Placing the Subwoofer
as a room’s shape and volume can have dramatic effects on a subwoofer’s performance,
it is best to experiment with the placement so that you will find the location that
produces the best results in your listening room. with that in mind, these rules will help
you get started:
• placing the subwoofer next to a wall will increase the amount of bass
in the room.
• placing the subwoofer in a corner will maximize the amount of bass
in the room.
• In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the left and
right speakers can produce the best integration between the sound of the
subwoofer and that of the left and right speakers.
• In some rooms, the best performance could even result from placing the
subwoofer behind the listening position.
a good way to determine the best location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing
it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around
to various locations in the room while the system is playing (putting your ears where
the subwoofer would be placed), and listen until you find the location where the bass
performance is best. place the subwoofer in that location.
