Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
Place the left & right speakers from 1 foot to 2 feet in
front of the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10
feet apart, with the center channel speaker as close to
midway between the left and right speakers as possible.
• The left and right speakers should be at least 2 feet
away from the side walls.
• The main listening position should be between 4 and
10 feet away from the speakers.
• For the 422
MR
, pivoting the tweeters towards the
listening position will help maximize clarity.
Use
Figure 3
as a guide.
Left & Right Surround Channels
(5.1-Channel System)
Locate the left and right surround channel speakers on the ceiling between 2 and 6 feet behind the listening position.
The speakers should be between 6 and 10 feet apart. Since the surround speakers are usually called-upon to reproduce
diffuse effects like the sound of wind or rain you can mount them close to walls without adversely affecting sound quality.

as a guide.
Left & Right Surround and Surround Back
Channels (7.1-Channel System)
LLeefftt && RRiigghhtt SSuurrrroouunndd SSppeeaakkeerrss::
Place the left and
right surround speakers directly to the sides of the
listening position, between 6 and 10 feet apart.
The speakers can be placed close to the side walls.
SSuurrrroouunndd BBaacckk SSppeeaakkeerrss::
Place the surround back
speakers between 2 and 6 feet behind the listening
position. The surround back speakers should be closer
together than the left and right surround speakers —
between 3 and 6 feet apart.
• Like the left and right surround speakers, the
surround back speakers can be located close to walls
without adversely affecting sound quality.
Use
Figure 4
