Placement of speakers in your room will impact the final listening experience. To position your speakers, there are some general guidelines
that take room size, shape, and fixtures and furnishings into account. Use the following illustrations as a general guide for speaker placement
in a typical home theater system.
Front speakers should be placed 6-8 feet apart (or on the sides of your screen if your screen is wider) to fully separate the left and right
channels. Whether placed on speaker stands, on shelves, or on the wall your speakers should be at or slightly above ear level.
Rear surround speakers also should be placed at or slightly above your listening position for the best reproduction of surround sound effects.
Ideally, they should be facing into your favorite listening position from either side of the room.
Center speaker placement should be, if possible, directly on top of or under your TV monitor or projection TV screen, in a horizontal orientation,
centered with your video screen. This correctly positions the critical sound track information (usually dialogue) that filmmakers direct to the
center channel.
5.1 HOME THEATER SYSTEM
In a 5.1 home theater system, the center channel (C) should be placed at 0º
directly below or above the video screen, the left front (LF) and right front (RF)
speakers should be placed at 30º from the listening area, and the left and right
surrounds (LS and RS) should be placed at 110º. All five speakers should be
placed at or near ear level.
7.2 HOME THEATER SYSTEM
In a 7.2 home theater system, the center channel (C) should be placed at 0º
directly below or above the video screen, the left front (LF) and right front (RF)
speakers should be placed at 30º from the listening area, and the left and right
surrounds (LS and RS) should be placed at 90º. The left rear (LR) and right rear
(RR) speakers (sold separately) should be placed at 150º. All seven speakers
should be placed at or near ear level.

[SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT]
Subwoofer placement is less critical, because the frequencies they reproduce are omni directional. This means the human ear doesn’t
perceive these low frequencies as coming from a specific direction, enabling placement of a subwoofer virtually anywhere in the listening
room.
It’s best, however, to keep a subwoofer within the sound field of the other speakers. The closer the subwoofer is to a wall, the louder and more
intense its bass output will be: this effect is even stronger when the sub is placed in or near a room’s corner. If using two subwoofers, start
by placing them next to the front left and right speakers, in both front corners or one in the corner and one 1/3 of the way along the front wall
from the corner. Each room is different. Experiment with these options or try other locations until you get the best results. If you must choose a
less-than-ideal position, the output level of Phase Technology powered subwoofers is adjustable to compensate for your listening environment.
