Speaker Positioning for Super Audio
Multi-channel Sound
In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound
with the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to
position speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Super
Audio CD multichannel discs are recorded and mixed so
as to achieve the optimum effect with a speaker system
laid out as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1.

With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music
signals are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 - 6
channels sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for
subwoofer) is recorded as a sixth channel.
0
Each disc indicates how many channels have been
recorded on it.

The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the
back since multi-channel discs usually have 5
channels. The 2 front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear)
speakers should be set in a circle around the listening
point. If using speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume
balance from the amplifier.

The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for
explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in
the room. For connection and positioning instructions,
see the instruction manual that came with the
subwoofer.
