Speaker Placement
Stereo Speaker Placement
• Place the left and right speakers on the same wall, 6 – 10 feet
(1.8m – 3m) apart and 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) from the floor
The main listening position should be as close to midway
between the speakers as possible.
If the listeners will be standing, mount the speakers 5 feet
(1.5m) from the floor to keep them at the listeners’ ear height.
The main listening position should be 4 – 10 feet (1.2m – 3m)
away from the speakers.
Pivoting the tweeter of each speaker directly towards the listen-
ing position will help maximize the stereo soundstage.
Use

Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left & Right Channels
Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video screen,
6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart and 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) from
the floor (which corresponds to the height of your ears when
you’re seated on a couch or chair). If possible, locate the left and
right speakers at least 18 inches away from the side walls.
The main listening position should be 8 – 12 feet (2.4m – 3.6m)
away from the speakers.
Use
Figure 2
as a guide.
Center Channel
Locate the center speaker as close to the same height as the left
& right channel speakers as possible. If you must place the
center speaker above or below a video screen, we recommend
placing it no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the center
of the left and right speakers. This will help maintain consistent
tonality between all three front channel speakers.
Use
Figure 2
as a guide.
Surround Channels
Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place the left and right
surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening position,
at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor.
Surround Back Speakers (7.1-Channel System): Place the
surround back speakers in the rear wall, 3 – 6 feet
(0.9m – 1.8m) apart and at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor.
