Speaker Placement
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to
place them properly to create the optimum sound space
for your listening pleasure. During placement and
connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and
instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore,
be aware that for surround playback, the configuration
and placement of your speakers are both very important.
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical
examples of speaker placement and recommendations
are shown.
In order to create the optimum conditions for the best
sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the
greatest difference between the distances of each
speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6
meters).
Important Points Regarding Speaker Placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place these three speakers all at the same height.
• Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of
the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
• Place the right and left peakers at equal distances on
either side of the listening point.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1
meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality
greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those
characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening
room as well as your listening point. Generally, good
bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in
the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the
room.
To optimize the subwoofer placement, we
recommend:
• Playing a movie or music source containing good
quality bass sound,
• Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position
in the room, and
• Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most
out of the bass sound while fixing the listening point.
Surround back speakers
• Place these speakers so that
their height is 3 feet (1 meter)
higher than that of the listener’s
ears.
• When using surround back left
and right speakers, place them
behind the listener so that the
angles between the lines from
each speaker to the listener and
a line straight back from the
listener are about 30 degrees.
Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how
they should be oriented in the room. For correct
acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
toward each other.
