Owner's Manual Contour Mulit-Channel Setup
Multi-channel
setup
Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed to offer the most
advanced performance in both stereo and multi-channel
applications. When connecting a loudspeaker to a
multi-channel setup, in general the same guidelines
as mentioned in the text above will apply
Note
When setting up a home theatre system, the loudspeakers should create a realistic
soundstage with similar sound characteristics on each channel. It is therefore
important that all speakers should match the same quality level. This is especially
important with regards to the center channel loudspeaker, as this is a critical aspect
of any multi-channel soundstage. Dynaudio has developed various models suitable
for multi-channel applications: Compact and oor standing models with a matching
center channel, all optimized for use with Dynaudio active subwoofers and Dynaudio
optional accessory products.
Loudspeakers for
multi-channel setups
For a multi-channel setup, in addition
to the two main (stereo) loudspeakers,
additional channels (speakers) may
be added to reproduce dialogue and
surround effects. With the center channel
and compact models, it is possible
to achieve the same high level of
performance and sound on every channel.
Center speaker
The center is responsible for the
information directed from the middle of the
screen and should be positioned between
the right and left main loudspeakers.
In a home theater/surround setup, the
center supports the images and should be
placed close to the screen.
Side/Rear speakers
The side/rear speakers are responsible
for the sound effects behind the listening
position. When using the compact models
as side/rear speakers, the speakers can
be placed onto a shelf, mounted at the
side/rear wall or placed on a stand. This
allows you a wide variety of placements,
even if your listening room and furniture
limit an optimal setup.

Corresponding to the surround format
5.1 or 7.1, you need to install additional
speakers:
5.1: The standard multi-channel setup
with two side/surround speakers,
preferably placed at the sides or slightly
behind the listening position
7.1: Two rear speakers are added
directly behind the listening position,
typically on the back wall
Subwoofer
Most often a subwoofer will be utilized for
the LFE-signal, especially in larger listening
rooms. The position of the subwoofer will
be dependent upon the size of the room
and its acoustics. Please refer to the
Subwoofer manual.
Multi-channel loudspeaker
setup
Thus, a complete multi-channel setup
consists of following speakers
1 Front (stereo) speakers
2 Center speaker
3 Side/Surround speakers
4 Rear speakers (as explained above)
5 Subwoofer (possible position)
Because there are many different setup
options – from 5.1 to 10.2 channel
applications – and the fact that
loudspeaker positioning will also
depend upon the room’s shape, please
consult your Dynaudio dealer for special
applications and for placement options.
