IN-CEILING SPEAKEAR - 5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEMS PLACEMENT
•
The surround left and surround right loudspeakers should be located to the sides of, and approximately 10 degrees behind, the main listening
area.
•
The front left, center and front right loudspeakers should be centered relative to the video display.
•
The front left, center, and front right loudspeakers should be closer to the video display than to the main listening area. For example, if the
video display is 10 ft (3m) from the main listening area, the loudspeakers should be 6 ft (1.8m) or further from the main listening area.
•
The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front right
loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.2m) video display should generally not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.
•
The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the video display.
•
The surround-channel loudspeakers should be as far from the main listening area as possible but at least 2 feet (0.6m) from side and front
walls.
IN-CEILING SPEAKEAR - 7.1-CHANNEL SYSTEMS PLACEMENT
•

the rear wall or near the rear wall in the ceiling.
•
The surround back left and surround back right loudspeakers should be equidistant from the primary listening area and generally as far from it
as possible but at least 2 ft (0.6m) from the side and rear walls.
