Speaker positions in the 5.1/7.1 configuration
Rear speaker placement option D Concert Set
Alternatively, position the left and right direct-radi-
ating rear speakers of the Concert Set behind the
main listening spot, ideally at the same height as
the front speakers – e.g., on a shelf or on speaker
stands. Higher speaker placement is fine, but avoid
placing the rear speakers down low. The rear speak-
ers should be positioned at least 1.00 m away from
the listener. Alternatively, you can create the nec-
essary distance by positioning the speakers higher
than 1.20 m.
Speaker positions in the 7.1 configuration
If you have purchased a System 9 THX
7.1 Cinema Set (or a 5.1 set with an additional "5.1
≥ 7.1" EX set – see page 7) and you are running a
7.1 AV receiver, you can install a fully fledged
7.1 home theatre system.
Front · Centre · Subwoofer · Rear(Side)
The arrangement of speaker boxes follows the same
pattern as a 5.1 system. Please refer to "Speaker po-
sitions in the 5.1 configuration" on the previous two
pages.
Rear centre
In an ideal 7.1 system, the rear effects speakers(rear
sides) are positioned on the side walls facing the lis-
tening spot, and the rear centre speakers are posi-
tioned on the rear wall(height: 1.40–2.10 metres).
If the distance between the rear speakers and the
listening spot has to be less than 1.00 m, we recom-
mend using M 950 D dipole speakers instead of the
direct-radiating M 950 FCR speakers. In this case,
you would be better advised not to purchase a full
7.1 Cinema Set but a 5.1 Cinema Set with two addi-
tional M 950 D dipole rear speakers.
7.1 speaker placement: If you picture a top-view ge-
ometry of your surround setup, the four rear spea-
kers should ideally form an isosceles trapezium. Each
side of the trapezium should be at least 1.00 m long.
If the sides have differing lengths, or if the four rear
speakers are mounted at different heights, you can
compensate for such asymmetries by entering the
distances of the individual speakers in the AV re-
ceiver's "Speaker Management" utility.
