Speaker placement
Before you position your speakers, take a look
around your room and figure out the best setup
(see diagram to the right). It’s easiest to place
all your speakers in the desired locations before
attaching any cables.
Satellite speakers – Place the two front
satellite speakers on either side of your
computer monitor or television, about the same
distance from each other as they are from your
listening position (e.g., the couch). Angle them
to face you. Place the two rear speakers behind
you and about the same distance apart as
the front speakers. You may want to mount
these speakers on the wall (see Wall mounting).
Center satellite speaker – Place your center
satellite speaker on your desk, or in front of
your monitor or television; you may also
wall-mount it.
Subwoofer – You can place the subwoofer
anywhere in relation to the other speakers.
To get the strongest bass, place your subwoofer
near a wall or corner, or under a desk. Make sure
that nothing is closer than 16 cm to the driver
or the bass port because it will affect your
sound. It’s also important to have adequate
ventilation around the subwoofer.
Control console –Place the control console
where it’s easy to reach. And make sure the IR
window is in plain view so the remote control
can communicate with it.
