The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from
the listening position, with
tweeters at about the same
height from the floor as the
listeners’ ears will be.
The center channel speaker
should be placed below the

behind the listening position,
facing forward. The surround
speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment
with their placement until you
hear a diffuse, ambient sound
accompanying the main
program material heard in
the front speakers.
The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer
is mostly omnidirectional, and
this speaker may be placed in
a convenient location in the
room. However, the best
reproduction of bass will be
heard when the subwoofer
is placed in a corner along
the same wall as the front
speakers. Experiment with
subwoofer placement by
temporarily placing the
subwoofer in the listening
position and moving around
the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the
subwoofer in that location.
