Speaker positions in the 5 .1 configuration
We recommend you place the
subwoofer somewhere in the
grey front area.
We recommend you place the
rear speakers somewhere in
the grey rear area.
The best default positions are
indicated by
A, B and C.
The arrows indicate the
speakers' projection.
Subwoofer
At the recommended crossover frequency of 150
Hz, the CR 1420 SW subwoofer can be positioned in
the room very flexibly without affecting the out-
put from the other loudspeakers. Usually, the ide-
al position is somewhere along the axis between
the two front speakers, but you should feel free
to experiment with placing it anywhere you like.
As the subwoofer is magnetically shielded, you
can even place it near a TV tube.
However, you should never put a TV set directly
on top of the subwoofer – the bass vibrations
may cause the TV to gradually slip off, which could
severely damage both units and possibly cause
injury.
Rear speakers
Position the left and right loudspeakers for the
rear of the room either behind or to the side of
the main listening spot. The ideal angle for the
rear speakers is parallel to the listener, offset by
20 degrees .
The rear speakers should always be at least one
metre away from the listener. If this is physically
not possible in your room and the speakers have
to be closer than one metre, make sure that they
are not directly facing you but are angled towards
the wall .
Alternatively, you can create the required dis-
tance by elevating the speakers to a height of at
least 1.20 metres (e.g., using stands), or by placing
them much further back in the room .
