Speaker placement
As the placement of loudspeakers is very important for accurate mix monitoring —
especially for multi-channel mixing for surround sound — you should consider speaker
positioning, angling and level calibration when setting up your monitor system. If
necessary, consult the manufacturer of your monitor system for their recommended
surround formats.
Typical examples of loudspeaker placements for each panning mode (see Table 7
“Panning formats” on page 131). Please note that these are only an approximation and
should only be used as a guide.
Note: LCRS has a mono surround channel, which is often fed to two rear ‘satellite’
speakers.
