Speaker Placement
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
Use Figure 1 as a guide.
• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video
screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet (1.8 – 3.0 meters)
apart and 38 – 42 inches (96 – 106 cm) from the floor.
• If possible, locate the left and right speakers at least
18 inches (45 cm) away from the side walls.
• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as
the left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches/96 – 106
cm from the floor).
• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video
screen, place it no more than 2 feet (60 cm) above or below
the center of the left and right speakers. This will maintain
consistent tonality between all three front channel speakers.
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet
(2.4 – 3.6 m) away from the speakers.
