Standard speaker setup for surround sound
1. Front Right and Left speakers - These are the main speakers providing the front stereo effect of the sound
image.
2. Center speaker - Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speak-
ers and enhancing the sonic movement.
3. Surround Right and Left speakers - Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental
sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
4. Subwoofer - Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Speaker placement
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.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front Right and Left 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 left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.
Subwoofer
Ideally a subwoofer should always be located in front of the listening position between the Front Left and Right
speakers. Since all rooms vary, experiment with the placement of your subwoofer for the best overall sound im-
age (placing a subwoofer in the corner of a room often helps to disperse the sound).
Surround Left and Right Speakers
Place these two 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 left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.
