Room Setup Suggestions
In order to obtain the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is impor-
tant 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 on the next page may not be
applicable to your individual system.
Front Main Speakers
As a starting point, place your left and right 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. The MM- speakers should be placed on stands which places
the tweeters close to ear height.
Center Channel Speaker
The C- Center Channel Speaker should be placed between both left and right main
speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above or
below a television monitor. Since the MM- and C- speakers are video shielded, they
may be placed in close proximity to a television without cause for concern.
Surround Speakers
The 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
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 thin-
ner than if the woofer were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by
placing a subwoofer along a wall 1- feet from a corner. Experiment with subwoofer
placement and the sub-amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.
