Speaker Placement
SPEAKER PLACEmENT
Use the following recommendations when determining speaker placement.
Determine The Primary Listening Area
The area where the user will most likely be sitting when listening to the speakers is the Primary Listening Area.
Placement of Stereo Speakers
The distance between the left and right speakers should as closely equal the distance from one speaker to
the listener as possible. (A=B=C) The left and right speakers should also be equal distances from a TV or Video
Display for balance with audio/video content.
Bookshelf Speakers
In audio/video applications when using bookshelf speakers, locating the speakers at the same height as the
TV or Video Display and at equal distances to left and right of the Video Display will create an effect where
the sound emanates from the picture.
Inwall Speakers
Ideally, speaker placement should be similar to that described for bookshelf speakers. Many brands of inwall
speakers, including most SpeakerCraft models, have pivoting tweeters that can ‘focus’ the high frequency
content directly to the Primary Listening Area and compensate for sometimes less than desirable placement so
the sound will still be balanced with the Video Display.
Ceiling Speakers
Ceiling speakers are very popular in modern architecture. Ceiling speakers, like bookshelf or inwall speakers,
should be placed at an equal distance from each other and the Primary Listening Area. Many SpeakerCraft
ceiling speakers have pivoting tweeters that can ‘focus’ the high frequency content directly to the Primary
Listening Area and compensate for sometimes less than desirable placement so the sound will still be bal-
anced with the Video Display.
Subwoofer
Subwoofer placement isn’t quite as critical as placement of the left and right speakers. The low frequency out-
put of a subwoofer is non-directional, so the sub can be placed almost anywhere in a room. A little bit of trial
and error may help in finding a particularly good location. Refer to the instructions provided with the sub for
additional information.
