Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical
example of speaker placement and recommendations
are shown.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place these three speakers at the same height from
the floor.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the
location of the listener's ears when at the listening
position.
• Place the front left and right speakers the same
distance from the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3
feet) higher than that of the listener's ears.
Surround back left and right speakers
• For maximum effect of the new THX Ultra2 feature,
place these two speakers as close together as
possible. Dipolar speakers, however, should be
placed apart the required amount (below right).
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3
feet) higher than that of the listener's ears.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their
orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipoles, the
arrows point forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows
should point towards each other to achieve the correct
acoustical phasing in the room.
