SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Your local authorized Sonance dealer is an expert in audio/video system planning and installation. We strongly recommend that you work with your dealer
to ensure that your system is properly planned, assembled and installed.

SPEAKERS MUST BE ORIENTED
VERTICALLY
.
• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video
screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42
inches 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.
• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the
left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).
• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video
screen, we recommend placing it no more than 2 feet above or
below the center of the left and right speakers. This will help
maintain consistent tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet away from the speakers.
Use
Figure 2
as a guide.
Left & Right Surround Speakers
Place the left & right surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, between
5 and 7 feet off the floor. Use
Figure 3
as a guide.
If placing the left and right surround speakers on the walls directly to the sides of the listening position isn’t possible, you can mount them on the ceiling. Locate the surround speakers
directly to the left and right sides of the listening position, between 6 and 10 feet apart. Mount
the speakers so the tweeters face the video screen and rear wall, with the woofers towards each
other. Use
Figure 4
as a guide.
Surround Back Channel Speakers
The surround back speakers in a 6.1- or 7.1-channel system should be placed in the rear wall
between 4 feet and 8 feet apart, at least 5 feet from the floor. Use
Figure 5
as a guide.
