Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
• Place the left, center and 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 & 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.
• In some cases pivoting the woofer of each speaker towards the
listening position will help maximize the soundstage, especially
when listening to stereo music sources.
Use
Figure 3
as a guide.
Left & Right Surround Channels (5.1-Channel System)
Locate the left and right surround speakers on the ceiling between 2 feet and 6 feet behind the listening position. The speakers should be between 6 feet
and 10 feet apart. Since the surround speakers are usually called-upon to create diffuse effects like the sound of wind or rain you can mount them close
to walls without adversely affecting sound quality.
• You can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting the woofers towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.

Figure 3
as a guide.
Left & Right Surround and Surround Back Channels
(7.1-Channel System)
• Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place the left and right
surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening position,
between 6 feet and 10 feet apart. The speakers can be placed close
to the side walls.
• Surround Back Speakers: Place the surround back speakers
between 2 feet and 6 feet behind the listening position. The
surround back speakers should be closer together than the left and
right surround speakers — between 3 feet and 6 feet apar t. Like
the left and right surround speakers, the surround back speakers can
be located close to walls without adversely affecting sound quality.
• You can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting
the woofers towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.
