Speaker Placement, Mounting Options

Speaker Placement

Placing the Front Speakers

Front left 

Speaker

Front Right 

Speaker

The  front  speakers  should  be  placed  the  same 

distance  from  each  other  as  they  are  from  the  

listening position. They should be placed at about 

the  same  height  from  the  floor  as  the  listener’s 

ears will be. They also can be angled toward the 

listener.

Placing the Center Speaker

0 – 2ft

(0 - 61cm)

The  center  speaker  should  be  placed  slightly 

behind  (farther  away  from  the  listener)  the  front 

left  and  right  speakers.  Its  center  should  be  no 

more  than  2  feet  (61cm)  above  or  below  the 

tweeters of the front left and right speakers. If you 

have a CRT television, it may be convenient to set 

the center speaker on top of the television set.

Placing the Subwoofer

Speaker

Subwoofer

Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the 

low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it 

will  have  good  performance  from  just  about  any 

location  in  your  room.  However,  the  best  bass 

reproduction  is  likely  to  be  heard  when  the 

subwoofer  is  placed  in  a  corner  along  the  same 

wall as the front left and right speakers. you can 

experiment  with  subwoofer  placement  by 

temporarily placing it in the listening position and 

playing  music  with  strong  bass  content.  Move 

around to various locations in the room while the 

system  is  playing  and  listen  until  you  find  the 

location where the bass performance is best. Place 

the subwoofer in that location.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position, facing 

each  other  and,  ideally,  should  be  5–6  feet  (1.5m–1.8m)  from  the  floor. An  alternate 

location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround 

speakers should not call attention to themselves while they’re playing. experiment with 

their  placement  until  you  hear  a  diffuse,  ambient  sound  accompanying  the  program 

material heard from the front left and right and center speakers.

Mounting Options for Satellite and Centre Speakers

Shelf Placement 

you  can  place  the  satellite  and  centre 

speakers on shelves. The satellite speakers 

have  built-in  bases  for  shelf  placement. 

you can also remove the bases.
To remove a satellite speaker’s base, pull 

it straight off the speaker, as shown in the 

illustration. Applying even pressure to both 

sides of the base will allow it to slide off 

smoothly.

Wall-Mounting: Satellite 

Speakers 

IMPORTAnT: Read the 

Speaker Connections

 

section, on page 8, before wall-mounting 

the  satellite  speakers.  you  will  need  to 

insert the speaker wires through the wall-

mount  brackets  and  connect  the  wires 

to  the  speakers  during  the  process  of 

installing the brackets.
nOTe: If you are using your own speaker 

wire, it must be no thicker than the wire 

supplied  with  the  speakers.  Thicker  wire 

will prevent the bracket from sliding onto 

the speaker.

Decide on the location for the 

1. 

speaker.
Remove the speaker’s base as 

2. 

explained in Shelf Placement, above.
Disassemble the wall-mount bracket 

3. 

by sliding the two sections apart, as 

shown in the illustration.

4.  Attach the wall portion of the 

wall-mount bracket onto the wall 

using hardware that is appropriate 

for the wall’s construction and 

materials. We recommend first 

anchoring the bracket using its keyhole, 

then attaching it with another anchor 

through its top opening, as shown in 

the illustration. note that the satellite 

speakers weigh 1.55kg (3.4 lb). Be sure 

to use hardware that can support this 

weight.
