Center
channel
speakers
are
designed
to
place
dialogue
and
primary
sounds
so
that
they
appear
to
come
from
the
video
screen.
The
speakers
should
therefore
be
placed
as
close
to
the
screen
as
possible,
preferably
directly
on
top
of
or
below
the
screen.

placed
approximately
2
feet
above
the
listening
position.
Typically
this
will
be
about
5-7
feet
above
the
floor.
The
surrounds
should
be
placed
on
the
walls
directly
adjacent
to
the
listening
position.
Another
option
would
be
on
the
wall
behind
the
listening

of
today's
surround
sound
technologies
provide.

and
