Speaker Placement
SST Models
Because a single SST speaker reproduces both stereo channels
from a single location, it will deliver outstanding performance
from a wide variety of mounting locations where a pair of stereo
speakers would be impractical, including hallways, bathrooms
and closets.
The table below shows how far apart SST speakers can be
spaced in distributed audio applications while still providing
good coverage for standing and seated listeners (see
Figure 1
).

SUR Models: 5.1-Channel Home Theater System
Mount the left and right surround speakers on the ceiling
between 2 feet and 6 feet behind the listening position.
The speakers should be between 6 feet and 10 feet apart. Orient
the speakers so the tweeters face the front and rear walls of the
room. Use
Figure 2
as a guide.
SUR Models: 7.1-Channel Home Theater System
Mount the left and right surround speakers directly to the sides of
the listening position, between 6 feet and 10 feet apart. Mount
the surround back speakers between 2 feet and 6 feet behind the
listening position. The surround back speakers should be closer
together than the left and right surround speakers — between
3 feet and 6 feet apart. Use
Figure 3
as a guide.
Before Installation: Retrofit
1. Determine the location for the speaker (see
Speaker Placement
above).
