Placement
The front speakers should be arrayed across the front of
the viewing area, as shown in figure 8. if you plan mostly
solo viewing , arrange the speakers as shown so that your
seating position is equidistant from the left, center and ri-
ght speakers (A). If your system is used mostly for group
viewing, arrange the speakers in a straight line (B). In any
case, avoid placing the center speaker closer to the vie-
wers than the left and right speakers.
(Figure 8)
Front speakers
The left and right speakers should include an angle of
from 45 to 60 degrees with the center-most viewer, as shown
in figure 9. an angle nearer to 45 degrees is preferred if you
use your system mostly to watch movies, as it approximates
the circumstances under which film soundtracks are mixed
and monitored. a wider angle, with the left and right spe-
akers further apart, is recommended if you use your system
for music listening more often than watching movies.
(Figure 9)
Finally, the three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height , at or near ear level (figure 10),
because it is often easiest to place the place the center spe-
aker on top of the TV set at a fixed height, consider moun-
ting the left and right speakers on adjustable stands so that
you can match their height to that of the center speaker.
(Figure 10)
Surround Speaker
The surround speakers should be placed alongside and
slightly to the ear of (but not behind) the prime seating po-
sition (Figure 11); well above ear level, to help minimize lo-
calization effects (Figure 12); and aimed directly across the
listening area, not down at the listeners (Figure 13). This
arrangement creates a diffuse , enveloping surround so-
und field throughout the listening area, like that in cinemas
and in the dubbing theaters where sound tracks are mixed.
If the speakers are too far forward, you won’t get sufficient
rearward effect, and if the speakers are too far back, there
will be a loss of envelopment and integration of the surro-
und information with the whole sound field.
