Location of Front Channel Speakers
Three loudspeakers are to be placed across in the
front of the listening room for the home theater
system. The width of the stereo image is
determined by the distance between the left and
right speakers. The image will be too narrow if the
speakers are placed too close together and,
conversely, if placed too far apart, the blend will
su!er creating a void in the middle section.
Your speakers should create a continuous "virtual
image" when properly placed from left to right. As a
result an illusion of sound outside, in front of, and
behind the speaker systems will be created.
STARKESOUND recommends a 45 degree to 60
degree angular separation when viewed from
above. The distance between the speakers is 75% of
the distance from the speakers to the listener at the
minimum 45° separation. At the maximum 60°
separation the distance between the speakers is
equal to the distance from the speakers to the
listener.
In order to create a seamless sound image across the front of the speakers one must
carefully consider location and placement.
Optimally, there should an equal distance from the left, right, and center channel
speakers to the listener location.
The height of the midrange/tweeter module of the front channel speakers should be
installed as close as possible to the height of a seated listener's ears. The front channel
tweeters should be located within two vertical feet of that height.

Location of Surround Speakers
STARKESOUND has provided the following information for the placement of surround
speakers. Although there are many opinions regarding placement and location of
surround speakers STARKESOUND has provided the following recommendations based
on thorough research, academics, and our experience with many installations. Note: The
choice of models used in the illustration below is arbitrary. The information described in
the illustrations can be applied to both the IW and the IC series covered in this manual
and in any of the surround locations. However, please keep in mind that the
midrange/tweeter array in the IC-H3 must always be vertically oriented.
You can use a IC-H3C when your speakers have to be in a horizontal position.
If two surrounds are used in a standard 5.1 configuration (not 7.1 or EX), they are best
mounted directly to the sides of the primary seating location, preferably within ±15° (see
illustration). This placement is the preferred method over back wall mounting for a few
reasons: 1. the placement of the surround speakers are located where the ear's ability to
discriminate left from right is optimum. This produces the maximum sense of
"envelopment" being surrounded by sound, 2. Mounting the rear speakers behind the
listener increases the angle between the front and rear speakers. This results in
reducing the chance that there will be a continuous front-to-rear sound image, lastly, 3.
Since our ability to discriminate the front-to-rear location of a sound source is not very
strong, locating surround speakers to the side of the listener will improve the listening
experience. 7.1 or EX systems that use side and rear speakers together overcome all of
these obstacles and give both maximum envelopment and a more continuous surround
effect.
