Here are some guidelines in how to place your speakers in the entertainment room:
- Determine where the listener is going to sit which is usually dictated by the size of the video display.
- Ensure that the front-left and front-right speaker forms an equilateral triangle with the seating position. This ensures good stereo separation and audio imaging.
- The center speaker shall be placed below (preferred) or above the screen (normal mount position is 1200mm above finished floor). In case of front projection with acoustically transparent screen, mount the center speaker directly behind it.
- The front, left, center, and right tweeters should be placed at the same height (preferably ear level) for sounds to pan seamlessly.
- If ceiling speakers are to be used for any of the front channels, make sure they're designed for that purpose. If they're not, they'll fire straight down instead of directing sound to the listening position. Suppliers are Definitive Technology, Sonance,
Niles
- Surround speakers should always be mounted behind the ears to achieve the surround effects (generally sounds that originate beside or behind the listener).
