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 optimal position
of the subwoofer depends on the size of the room and its acoustics. Please refer to the Subwoofer manual.
Multi-channel loudspeaker setup
A complete multi-channel setup consists of the following speakers:
▪ 1: Front (stereo) speakers
▪ 2: Centre speaker
▪ 3: Side/Surround speakers
▪ 4: Rear speakers (as explained above)
▪ 5: Subwoofer (possible position)
As there are many dierentsetup options (from 5.1 to 10.2 channel applications) and loudspeaker positioning will
also depend on a room’s shape, please consult your Dynaudio dealer for special applications and placement
options.
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 centre 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 floor standing models with a matching centre channel, all optimised for use with
Dynaudio active subwoofers and Dynaudio optional accessory products.
