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 left and right tower 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 either a horizontal
(lying down) or vertical (standing) position.
Rear 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
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.
