Positioning for home-cinema
A typical home cinema installation includes :
1 - Two main speakers, left and right
2 - A centre speaker
3 - One or several subwoofers
4 - Surround speakers (5.1 signal : 2 rear speakers, 6.1 signal : 3 rear speakers, 7.1 signal : 4 rear
speakers)
To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo installation (see
previous page on stereo positioning).
- The centre speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers.
- For home cinema setups a subwoofer is highly recommended in order to reproduce the special
bass effets channel featured on supports such as DVD audio or video. The positioning of the
subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80 Hz. Above this frequency, it
is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers. The best position being in between
the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating
unpleasant resonances.
- We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m of height. Their role is
to reproduce surround sound.
You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's
manual.
