8 SPECIFY THE SPEAKER LAYOUT
In this chapter we assume that a specific set of speakers have already been defined and installed in a
room. In order to support multiple surround and 3D formats, we recommend relying on the expertise
of a Certified JBL Synthesis Installer. They can design a speaker configuration that meets your
requirements, and can also recommend optimal speaker placements according to your room’s
dimensions and acoustics.
For additional information about the Dolby, DTS and Auro-3D recommendations, please see the
Appendix of this document and the related documents from Dolby, DTS and Auro.
8.1 OVERVIEW OF THE SPEAKERS SETUP
PROCEDURE
The overall procedure to configure a speaker system is as follows:
• Select an initial speaker layout from one of the available templates;
• If necessary, Add or Remove speakers until your specific layout is defined;
• Configure the settings of each speaker, the channel mapping to Dolby, DTS, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D
formats, and the output routing;
• Verify the routing of the speakers by playing pink noise on each speaker;
• Set an array of speakers (please see next chapter)
• Save the preset.
Each of these steps is described in detail in the following pages.
8.2 INTRODUCING THE SPEAKER/ROOM SETUP

Speaker/Room setup tool provides the following features:

• a comprehensive set of surround and 3D speaker layouts so you do not need to start your speaker configuration
from scratch;
• add or remove speakers (satellites and subwoofers);
• detailed configuration of each speaker, the channel mapping to Dolby, DTS, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D
formats, and the output routing;
• An easy way to set up speakers arrays;
