Ideal reproduction of 5.1 digital soundtracks requires five loudspeakers (main-left, center,
main-right, surround-left and surround-right) plus a subwoofer. To ensure the optimum surround
sound performance, the five speakers (plus subwoofer) should be set up as follows:
1.
Main Speakers
The left and right speaker should be equidistant from the TV. It may be necessary to tilt
them slightly inward toward the main listening area.
2.
Center Speaker
Place the center speaker directly above or below the TV to assure proper on-screen
localization of the center channel material. To avoid interference with your TV, use a
magnetically shielded speaker.
3.
Surround Speakers
Place the left and right surround speakers off to the side or slightly behind the main
listening position. They should be approximately two to three feet above the ear level of a
seated individual in the main listening position.
4.
Subwoofer
Since low bass tones are not highly directional, placement may vary depending on the room
size and dimensions. It may be necessary to experiment with different locations to find
the optimum placement that will deliver clear, articulate bass without any muddy or
boomy qualities.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
QUICK FACTS
For best results, all the
speakers should be the
same distance from the
listening position.
When this is not possible,
adjust the center and
surround delay on the
DPA-S50 so that sound
from these speakers
arrives at the listening
position at the same
time as from the
main speakers.
