SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The locations of the speakers should be determined by considering your
primary listening location, the primary use for the speakers (distributed
audio, 2-channel or home theater) and aesthetic values. For optimum
results contact your Authorized Sonance Dealer for advice.
Home Theater Placement
Left, Center and Right Speakers
• Place the left, center and right speakers from 1 foot to 2 feet in front of
the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart, with the center
channel speaker as close to midway between the left and right speakers as
possible.
• Place the left & right speakers at least 2 to 3 feet away from the side walls.
• The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet away from
the speakers.
Left & Right Surround Speakers (5.1-Channel System)
Locate the left and right surround speakers on the ceiling between 2 feet
and 6 feet behind the listening position. The speakers should be between
6 feet and 10 feet apart. Since the surround speakers are usually called-
upon to create diffuse effects like the sound of wind or rain, they can be
located close to walls without adversely affecting sound quality.

as a guide.
Left & Right Surround and Surround Back Speakers
(7.1-Channel System)
•
Left & Right Surround Speakers:
In a 7.1-channel system, place the
left and right surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening
position, between 6 feet and 10 feet apart. The speakers can be placed
close to the side walls.
•
Surround Back Speakers:
Place the surround back speakers between
2 feet and 6 feet behind the listening position. The surround back
speakers should be closer together than the left and right surround
speakers — between 3 feet and 6 feet apart. Like the left and right
surround speakers, the surround back speakers can be located close to
walls without adversely affecting sound quality.

as a guide.
2-Channel Placement
Follow the directions for Home Theater Placement for the left and right
speakers.
