Left and Right Main Channel Speakers
For optimum performance, Starke Sound™ suggests placing your speakers 7 to
18 feet (2.1 to 5.5m) apart. They also need to be toed-in slightly to place the
listener on axis for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be about
1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers. Refer to Figures 1 and 3 for
connection and placement.
Center Channel Speaker
At Starke Sound™ the Center Channel speaker is designed to balance equally
with the main speakers. Try to keep the center channel's tweeter height the same
as the main speakerʼs tweeter height. If you are using a TV or nontransparent
screen, the speaker should be placed as close to the plane of the screen as
possible, preferably directly on top or below the screen. Refer to Figures 1, 2, and
3 for connection and placement.
Surround Channel Speakers
Starke Sound™ surround speakers should be placed at the same height as the
listenerʼs ear height or above. Typically this will be anywhere from 4-10 feet (1.2 to
3m) above the floor. The surrounds should be placed on the walls directly
adjacent to the listening position. According to what surround standard you will
play place your surround speakers at the specified locations dictated by that
particular format. Refer to Figures 1 and 3 for connection and placement.
